Background: Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), a phthalate compound found in medical devices, may cause toxic effects in premature infants. In this study, the objective is to quantify DEHP exposures from various intravenous and respiratory therapy devices, and to use these values to predict typical exposure for an infant in a neonatal unit.
Methods: Common IV products used on infants are directed through various types of IV tubing (IVT) and analyzed for DEHP content.
Objective: The objective is to document changes in the etiologic spectrum of hypertension in premature infants.
Study Design: We reviewed all cases of systemic hypertension (HTN) in premature infants at two centers over 8 years. Infants were sorted into categorical groups as described in 2012 by Flynn.
