Introduction: With the ventilatory mechanical attendance has been prolonged the life of the preterm newborn (PTNB) critically sick and during that lapse many occasions it is necessary reintubation to PTNB in two or more times with the subsequent damage that makes enter to the patient to a vicious circle with more damage during the same reintubated. The objective of this study was to determine the factors that predict the extubation failure among PTNB from 28 to 36 weeks of gestational age in two or more times.
Material And Methods: It was considered extubation failure when in the first 72 hours of being had extubated the patient; there was reintubation necessity, independent of the cause that originated it.
Introduction: The bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a lung illness chronicle that is developed in preterm newborn (PTNB) mainly, secondary to multiple factors of risk which have not been studied completely.
Objective: To determine the predictors factors (of risk factors) for the production of BPD in the PTNB of 28 at 36 weeks of gestational age.
Material And Methods: Eighty medical records from January 2004 to May 2006 of PTNB that there was received mechanical attendance to the ventilation (MAV) at least 24 hrs were reviewed retrospectively.
Objective: To determine risk factors associated with the presence of complications with mechanical ventilatory support (MVS) in the preterm infants (PI).
Methods: One hundred thirty medical records of PI that had been discharged by amelioration or death were reviewed retrospectively. They were divided in two groups: group A, PI that had presented complications during MVS (cases) and B, PI with MVS, but that had not presented complications due to the procedure (controls).
Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is associated with frequent events of hypoxemia specially during feeding.
Objective: Determine peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) among infants with BPD before, during and after feeding.
Methods: Patients with diagnosis of BPD were prospectively studied between July-September, 2005.
Objective: To determine the factors that lead to extubation failure among preterm newborns (PTN).
Material And Methods: Failure was determined when patients had to be reintubated during the first 72 hours. Critically-ill preterm newborns needing mechanical assisted ventilation at least during 24 hours were studied prospectively.
Background: Neonatal sepsis is a frequent diagnosis in neonatal intensive care units and has been associated with a high mortality rate.
Objective: To determine the possible association between various risk factors and neonatal sepsis mortality rate.
Design: Cohort case control.
Objective: To determine the time course of the expression of five toll-like receptors (TLRs 1-5) in mixed blood mononuclear cells and their relationship to pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Material And Methods: In a prospective, a longitudinal study was done at an intensive-care unit of a university-affiliated hospital. Seven consecutive patients with ARDS were studied.
Background: The mechanical ventilatory assistance (MVA) is a procedure that is used very often in the neonatal intensive care units but its use its linked to a lot of complications. The objective of this study was to determine the risk factors for the presence of complications of the MVA in the newborns infants.
Material And Methods: One hundred thirty five medical records from January 98 to June 2000 of newborns that had been discharged by amelioration or death were reviewed retrospectively.
Objective: To review the international literature on adolescent cancer epidemiology.
Material And Methods: The Medline database was searched to obtain all papers on adolescent cancer epidemiology published during a period of 15 years (1985-1999). Time, place, and person variables were analyzed, as well as their relationships.
