Research progress on risk factors of spontaneous intestinal perforation in premature infants / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Spontaneous intestinal perforation(SIP) is one of the causes of digestive tract perforation in premature infants and requires surgical intervention.Except for preterm delivery, the etiology and pathogenesis of SIP remain unclear.The studies have shown that it may be related to the application of magnesium sulfate, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hormones, vasoactive drugs and low perfusion status, infection, congenital intestinal dysplasia, non-invasive respiratory support, delayed nutrition initiation and other factors.In the management of premature infants, it is particularly important to improve the understanding of SIP, early diagnosis and treatment.
