Introduction: We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the use of acetaminophen, which may be a risk factor for the ductal canal, in the treatment of fever due to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) infusion in newborns with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD).
Methods: The study included newborns who were followed-up in our neonatal intensive care unit with the diagnosis of critical congenital heart disease, developed fever due to PGE1 infusion and had acetaminophen administered for antipyretic treatment. The patent ductus arteriosus diameters of the patients were evaluated by echocardiographic imaging before intravenous acetaminophen treatment and at the end of the day of acetaminophen treatment.
Background: Newborns with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) with increased pulmonary blood flow (PBF) are at high risk for congestive heart failure. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the presence and degree of pulmonary edema in newborns with CCHD using lung ultrasound (LUS) during the perioperative period.
Methods: Prospective clinical trial, 44 newborn patients with CCHD were evaluated in this prospective clinical trial.
Introduction: Congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia is a rare arrhythmia that occurs in patients without previous cardiac surgery. In this report, we wanted to present a 6-hour-old newborn with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia resistant to conventional anti-arrhythmic medications, who was successfully treated with ivabradine and amiadarone combination.
Case: A six-hour-old newborn girl was hospitalised in neonatal ICU because transient tachypnoea of the newborn.
Unlabelled: Many studies have been conducted to determine the most reliable technique for evaluating the position of the endotracheal tube in patients receiving mechanical ventilation support. In this study, we aimed to determine the endotracheal tube position by ultrasonography in intubated patients with a diagnosis of critical CHD followed in the neonatal ICU.
Methods: In this prospective observational clinical study, we performed point-of-care ultrasound for endotracheal tube localisation in 65 intubated newborns with critical CHD.
Objective: Aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic role of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII; neutrophil × platelet [PLT]/lymphocyte) in the prediction of renal involvement in newborns with urinary tract infection (UTI).
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study among 117 newborns with a gestational age greater than 35 weeks and hospitalized in the NICU. Laboratory values obtained from blood samples taken before the initiation of antibiotics were evaluated for renal function tests, complete blood count, and acute phase reactants.
