Analysis of neonatal cardiac function in infants with and without patent ductus arteriosus
Background Persistent PDA remains a common clinical presentation in preterm infants. We have already shown that high shunt volume increases LVO[1] and infants appear to have enlarged hearts (fig 1) but to what extent and their resultant function is yet unknown. The aim of this study was to quantify ventricular dimension and function in “healthy” neonates. Then compare PDA infants to this normat...
متن کاملIntravenous immunoglobulin for prophylaxis of neonatal sepsis in premature infants.
The incidence of sepsis, mortality due to sepsis, total mortality, and minor infections was evaluated in a group of 46 premature newborn infants who were treated with intravenous immunoglobulins. They were compared with an untreated control group. No significant differences were observed between the two groups.
متن کاملNeonatal sepsis due to Rhodococcus equi in two preterm infants.
We present two cases of Rhodococcus equi bacteremia as a cause of sepsis in premature infants who had increasing respiratory distress with multiple episodes of apnea. When we investigated these infants for apnea etiology, blood cultures were taken, and R. equi was confirmed based on the colony characteristics on nutrient agar; extended antibiotherapy was started. R. equi has been identified fre...
متن کاملNeonatal Sepsis: An Update
Sepsis is the most common cause of neonatal mortality. As per National Neonatal-Perinatal Database (NNPD), 2002-2003, the incidence of neonatal sepsis in India was 30 per 1000 live births. Signs and symptoms of sepsis are nonspecific; therefore empirical antimicrobial therapy is promptly initiated after obtaining appropriate cultures. The early manifestations of neonatal sepsis are vague and il...
متن کاملMetoprolol improves endothelial function in patients with cardiac syndrome X
Endothelial dysfunction which is manifested by the loss of nitric oxide bioavailability, is an increasingly recognized cause of cardiac syndrome X (CSX) and beta blockers are used for the treatment of this syndrome. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate effects of metoprolol, as a beta blocker, on endothelial function in CSX patients. The study included 25 CSX patients (20 female/ 5 ma...
