А ктуальность проблемы постнатального функционирования артериального протока у недоношенных новорожденных детей для современной практической неонатологии обусловлена тем, что эта фетальная коммуникация значительно отягощает гемодинамику и служит фактором развития ряда тяжелых патологиче-ских состояний, наиболее частыми из которых являются внутрижелудочковые кровоизлияния, перивентрикулярная лейкомаляция, бронхолегочная дисплазия, некротизирующий энтероколит, ретинопатия, что требует особых условий выхаживания и коррекции данной фетальной коммуникации [1,2].Наиболее тяжелые, жизнеугрожающие ситуации возникают при открытом артериальном протоке в периоде новорожденности у недоношенных детей с очень низкой и экстремально низкой массой при рождении. В связи с тяжестью состояния около 1/3 новорожденных менее 30 нед гестации по жизненным показаниям нуждаются в медикаментозной стимуляции закрытия артериального протока или хирургическом вмешательстве методом эндоскопического клипирования.
Objective. To develop a method for predicting the persistence of hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus in profoundly premature newborns based on the evaluation of clinical data and the results of additional studies.
Material and methods. Sixty-nine profoundly preterm newborns were examined including 37 with very low and 32 with extremely low body weight. Clinical and anamnestic data, the results of laboratory radiographic and instrumental examinations were evaluated. The state of the arterial duct, as well as the parameters of central and intracardiac hemodynamics were determined by echocardiography. The criteria for hemodynamically significant open arterial duct (OAD) were the following: duct size greater than 1.5 mm, left-right blood bypass, the presence of retrograde blood flow in the aorta greater than 50 % of the antegrade value. There were 2 groups: comparison (n = 41) children with hemodynamically insignificant ductus arteriosus, main (n = 28) children with hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus after 72 hours of postnatal life.
Results. After 72 hours of the postnatal life, a hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus is detected in 40.6 % of profoundly premature newborns. The factors of a long-term persistence of ductus arteriosus are as follows: birth at term of gestation less than 27 weeks with a low Apgar score within the first minute of life ( 4 points), a patient has a sharp weakening or absence of reflexes of the newborn, severe muscular hypotonia, signs of peripheral circulation, moist fine wheezing and crepitation in the lungs, strengthening of their images on the radiograph due to the interstitial and vascular components, dilation of the left and right ventricles and the left atrium. The method for predicting the dynamics of the open ductus arteriosus in profoundly premature newborns has been developed.
Conclusion. The use of the developed prognostic table makes it possible to identify with an accuracy of 85.7 % profoundly premature newborns with a high risk of persistence of a hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus after 72 hours of postnatal life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
