Continuous measurement of subarachnoid pressure in the severely asphyxiated newborn.
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a method of monitoring continuously subarachnoid pressure in the severely asphyxiated newborn by a percutaneously placed catheter. Five infants were studied for a total of 180 hours and although opening pressures were not appreciably raised in any, maximum pressures were above 20 mmHg in four infants and reached a peak of 48 mmHg in one.

Comparison of the Efficacy of Serum Creatinine and Microalbuminuria in Early Diagnosis of Renal Injury in Asphyxiated Infants in Calabar, Southern Nigeria
Background: Microalbuminuria and serum creatinine are the specific markers of acute renal injury. Perinatal asphyxia is responsible for 50% of all neonatal deaths and nonoliguric acute renal injuryis one of its complications. This study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of serum creatinine and microalbuminuria for early diagnosis of renal injury in severely asphyxiated neonates in Calaba...
متن کاملMedical management of raised intracranial pressure after severe birth asphyxia.
The effects of dexamethasone and 20% mannitol infusion in reducing raised intracranial pressure were assessed in severely asphyxiated newborn infants. Intracranial pressure was measured continuously by a percutaneously placed subarachnoid catheter, and cerebral perfusion pressure was calculated from this and blood pressure data. Dexamethasone treatment, assessed in seven infants, produced an ov...
متن کاملNonprotein-bound iron in postasphyxial reperfusion injury of the newborn.
OBJECTIVE To investigate if the availability of nonprotein-bound iron after birth asphyxia is related to the severity of the postasphyxial injury and neurodevelopmental outcome. METHODS Nonprotein-bound iron (bleomycin assay) and thiobarbituric-acid-reactive species, an index of oxidative lipid damage, were measured in plasma of 50 newborn infants (gestational age > 34 weeks) between 0 to 8 h...
متن کاملThiopentone induced coma after severe birth asphyxia.
The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of inducing a prolonged coma in severely asphyxiated newborn babies by the infusion of high dose thiopentone. In six severely asphyxiated babies the electroencephalograph (EEG) and blood pressure were monitored continuously. Thiopentone was infused at a rate sufficient to suppress completely the EEG providing the mean blood pressure remaine...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to determine the correlation of Apgar score with asphyxial hepatic injury and neonatal mortality in moderately and severely asphyxiated newborns. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a secondary analysis of our prospective observational case-controlled study. Sixteen neonates with severe birth asphyxia (five-minute Apgar ≤3) were compared with either 54 modera...
