Ventilating the lungs of newborn infants for prolonged periods.

چکیده
The treatment of selected respiratory problems in newbom infants by intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) combined with naso-tracheal intubation is now well established as a routine procedure in Aberdeen, and it would be unfortunate if ill-founded fears prevented the wider use of this valuable technique. The method we use has been recorded elsewhere (Reid and Tunstall, 1966), but we here describe the technique in detail, based on our experience of treating some 90 infants (Table).

We studied four infants whose mothers had had leaks of amniotic fluid for varying periods before birth. Three were associated with compression deformities. Oxygenation was achieved only by overriding the pressure limit safety devices on the resuscitation apparatus and ventilating after birth with high inflation pressures. In all cases the ventilation pressures had to be further increased for 12...
متن کاملA Model of the Respiratory System in the Newborn Infant
A dynamic mathematical model is presented which successfully simulates the respiratory control system of the newborn infant in different physiological conditions. The primary objective in constructing this model has been to provide a simulation aid in the investigation of maturation of the respiratory system, and the respiratory disorders during the newborn period, without the need for invasive...

متن کاملEvaluating the Need for Prophylactic Antibiotic Therapy in Infants with Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn: A Triple-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial Study
Background Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a respiratory disorder caused by delay in the evacuation of the lung fluids. Prophylactic antibiotic therapy is recommended for the risk of sepsis. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the prophylactic antibiotic in infants with TTN. Materials and Methods This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on all infants, admitted to TTN at F...
