Effect of serum caffeine level on pneumocardiogram of premature infants treated for apnea with theophylline.
It is speculated that measurement of serum theophylline concentration alone, without concomitant caffeine level determination, may lead to a false negative (normal) pneumocardiogram due to possible existence of therapeutic caffeine level resulting from the methylation of theophylline. Treatment of neonatal apnea with theophylline as documented by a normal follow-up pneumocardiogram should be co...
متن کاملAmbient Air Pollution and Apnea and Bradycardia in High-Risk Infants on Home Monitors
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that increased ambient air pollution concentrations are associated with health effects, although relatively few studies have specifically examined infants. OBJECTIVE We examined associations of daily ambient air pollution concentrations with central apnea (prolonged pauses in breathing) and bradycardia (low heart rate) events among infants prescribed home cardiore...
متن کاملThe care of premature infants at home.

In March, 1944, this was given official recognition in the form ofa circular sent to Welfare Authorities (Ministry of Health, 1944), with recommendations for the care of premature children at home and in hospital. I...
متن کاملIdentification of extremely premature infants at high risk of rehospitalization.
OBJECTIVE Extremely low birth weight infants often require rehospitalization during infancy. Our objective was to identify at the time of discharge which extremely low birth weight infants are at higher risk for rehospitalization. METHODS Data from extremely low birth weight infants in Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network ce...
متن کاملLow Dose Aminophylline Effectively Decreases the Risk of Post-Operative Apnea in Premature Infants
BACKGROUND Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the most common reason behind surgical procedures in premature newborns. Anesthesia in these patients is life-threatening due to post-operative apnea of prematurity (POA). This study aimed to determine the predisposing factors to POA in premature infants and to explore the role of prophylactic aminophylline in decreasing the incidence of POA. MAT...
