Objective To investigate the role of low-dose heparin added to total nutrient admixture (TNA) solutions in the prevention of catheter related infections (CRIs). Methods One-hundred three newborn infants with periph-erally inserted central catheter (PICC) were divided into heparin group (n=63) and control group (n=40). The patients in the heparin group received TNA with 0.5 U/ ml heparin. The patients in the control group received TNA without heparin. We retrospectively analyzed the incidence of CRTs in the two groups. Results We found that the incidence of CRIs was 0 in the heparin group and 12.5% (5/40) in the control group. The incidence of catheter obstruction was 6.3% (4/63) in the heparin group and 20% (8/40) in the control group. The incidence of catheter-tip colonization was 1.58% (1/40) in the heparin group and 17.5% (7/40) in the control group. The incidences of CRIs, catheter obstruction, and catheter-tip colonization were signiicantly lower in the heparin group than those in the control group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion TNA solutions with 0.5U/ml heparin have decreased catheter obstruction and CRIs.

Methods :The clinical data on 228 cases of premature infants treated by neonatal wards were analyzed retrospectivelly. Results : The important factors of premature are cholestasis of pregnancy syndrome, premature rupture of membbranes, and hypertemsion in prefnancy. The commom diseases in premature infants are neonatal pnecemonia, hyperbilirubinemia and asphxia, the major factors in poor prognasis are caused by neonatal shock, multiple organ failure in premature infants. Conclusion :The main reasons of premature is maternal factors. It is important to strengthen the health care during pregnancy, control the complications of mothers actively, at the same time, improve the level of neonatal first aid, intervent early, so as to imprive the quality of life in preterm infants.
ObjectiveTo explore the related factors for the influences and outcomes of mothers and infants, and further provide a basic reference for reducing maternal and prenatal mortality caused by central placenta previa, through the analysis of its clinical characteristics. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 89 patients with central placenta previa treated from January to August 2012. ResultsThere were 89 patients with central placenta previa, and the average age of these patients was (29.6±11.4) years, and the average number of pregnancy among the patients was 3.17. Nine patients had scar uterus; 8 had pernicious placenta previa (9%); 34 had prenatal anemia symptoms; 44 had prenatal vaginal bleeding with the bleeding volume ranged from 2 to 500 mL; 40 were treated before delivery. The average gestational age was 36 weeks ±4.2 days, and 28 of them were readmitted. The intraoperative bleeding in such patients as had placenta located in the anterior wall, placenta adhesion or implantation, history of uterine cavity operation or multipara was more than other patients. The postpartum hemorrhage of patients with the gestational age of 36 weeks or more was more than that of patients with the gestational age shorter than 36 weeks. The incidence of fetal distress in patients with the gestational age of 36 weeks or more is lower and the neonatal 1-minute Apgar score was higher than that in patients with the gestational age shorter than 36 weeks (P<0.05). ConclusionThe treatment of central type of placenta previa should be more active to prolong the gestational week. Patients with placenta adhesion or implantation, caesarean, multipara and placenta in the anterior wall are susceptible to intraoperative bleeding during the termination of pregnancy. Termination of pregnancy in these patients with central placenta previa should be carried out by cesarean section when gestation is more than 36 weeks to reduce postpartum hemorrhage and complications.
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of non-nutritional sucking and 10% glucose water plus non-nutritional sucking in relieving the venipuncture pain for premature infants. MethodA total of 167 premature infants between April and December 2014 were selected as our study subjects, and they were randomly divided into three groups:intervention group Ⅰ (n=53), intervention group Ⅱ (n=58), and the control group (without any intervention, n=56). Two minutes before venous indwelling needle puncture, blood oxygen saturation and heart rate of the infants were recorded during their quiet state. In the process of venipuncture, the intervention group Ⅰ was given non-nutritional sucking, intervention group Ⅱ was given 10% glucose water plus non-nutritional sucking, and the control group did not accept any intervention. Premature pain rating scale (PIPP) was used to compare the three groups of infants in terms of pain score, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation 1 minute and 5 minutes after intravenous indwelling needle puncture. SPSS 17.0 software was applied for statistical analysis. ResultsOf the 167 premature infants, one-time puncture was successful in 152 infants, with 46 in intervention group Ⅰ, 54 in intervention group Ⅱ, and 52 in control group. One minute after intravenous indwelling needle puncture, PIPP score of intervention group Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The PIPP score of intervention group Ⅱ was significantly lower than that of intervention group Ⅰ (P<0.05). One minute and 5 minutes after intravenous indwelling needle puncture, heart rate in the intervention groups was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), blood oxygen saturation in the intervention groups was signficantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), and they were significantly lower in intervention group Ⅱ than in intervention group Ⅰ (P<0.05). ConclusionsNon-nutritional sucking is effective in alleviating venipuncture pain for premature infants, especially when it is used together with 10% glucose water. The method is worthy of clinical promotion.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of ibuprofen for premature infants with patent ductus arteriosus. MethodsDatabases including PubMed, Ovid-EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 11, 2014), CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs about ibuprofen for premature infants with patent ductus arteriosus from inception to December 2014. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 37 RCTs, involving 2 370 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the placebo/blank group, ibuprofen could increase the closure rate of PDA (LBWI:RR=1.93, 95%CI 1.25 to 2.99，P=0.003; VLBW:RR=1.23, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.48, P=0.03; ELBWI:RR=2.86, 95%CI 1.51 to 5.41, P=0.001) and decrease the incidence of sepsis (VLBW:RR=0.21, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.64，P=0.006); Compared with the indometacin groups, ibuprofen could decrease the incidence of the increase of serum creatinine (LBWI:RR=0.11, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.37, P=0.000 2), NEC (LBWI, RR=0.52, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.95, P=0.03) and oliguria (LBWI: RR=0.30, 95%CI 0.16 to 0.56, P=0.000 2; VLBW:RR=1.40, 95%CI 1.03 to 1.92, P=0.03); Compared with the intravenous ibuprofen, Oral ibuprofen could increase the closure rate of PDA (VLBW: RR=1.35, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.62, P=0.002; ELBWI, RR=1.42, 95%CI 1.07 to 1.87, P=0.01). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that there is not indeterminate between ibuprofen and paracetamol groups. Compared with other general drugs, ibuprofen has an advantage over curing PDA and obviously reduces side effects. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) associated with intracardiac anomalies in infants. Methods The data from August 2009 to August 2017 of 86 infants who were diagnosed with CoA associated with intracardiac anomalies were analyzed. Preoperative diagnosis, surgical findings and post-operation follow-up were analyzed retrospectively. There were 56 males and 30 females at age of 1–346 (95.1±78.0)d. All the included patients underwent single-stage repair of CoA associated with intracardiac anomalies. Results Mean operative time was 279.0±56.4 min, mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 162.3±51.0 min, and mean aorta cross-clamp time was 74.7±25.2 min. Mean length of ICU stay and ventilation time was 7.4±4.7 days and 101.1±75.4 hours, respectively. The residual transcoarctation gradient before discharge was lower than pre-operative transcoarctation gradient significantly (42.3±17.7 mm Hg vs. 22.1±9.4 mm Hg, P<0.001), and 7 early deaths were observed after surgery. The mean follow-up time of 79 hospital survivors was 31.0±27.4 months. And no late death was found. Transcoarctation gradient of hospital survivors in the last time follow-up was 21.2±11.0 mm Hg. Transcoarctation gradient of 29 patients was higher than 20 mm Hg. However, only 4 patients with significant clinical symptom of lower limbs retardation were recommended for ballon angioplasty consultant. The cumulative recoarctation-free survival in 2-year follow-up was 69.2%. Conclusions To avoid early second-stage operations, single-stage repair of CoA associated with intracardiac anomalies is effective and safe, and the outcomes of early to mid term follow-up are satisfactory.
ObjectiveTo compare and analyze the treatment effect of thoracoscopic surgery and traditional open surgery on infants with congenital diaphragmatic eventration, and summarize the experience of thoracoscopic surgery in infants with congenital diaphragmatic eventration.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 105 children with congenital diaphragmatic eventration who received operation in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2010 to January 2019. The patients were divided into an open group and a thoracoscopic group according to the operation methods. There were 41 patients in the thoracoscopic group, including 30 males and 11 females, with an average of 13.42±11.08 months (range: 1 d to 3 years). There were 64 patients in the open group, including 44 males and 20 females, with an average age of 8.21±9.33 months (range: 15.0 d to 1.6 years). The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, hospital stay and other operation indexes as well as the mortality, recurrence rate and complication rate of the two groups were observed.ResultsThe operation indexes such as operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, thoracic drainage time, CCU stay and hospital stay of the thoracoscopic group were better than those in the open group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between two groups in postoperative diaphgram muscles descent, postoperative feeding time or patients needing thoracic drainage (P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the thoracoscopic group (19.51%) was lower than that in the open group (23.44%, P>0.05), and the difference in mortality and recurrence rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05).ConclusionBoth thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication and traditional open surgery can effectively treat congenital diaphragmatic eventration, but compared with traditional open surgery, thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication has the advantages of shorter operation time, less trauma, more rapid recovery and fewer complications, so it should be the first choice for children with congenital diaphragmatic eventration.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effectiveness and safety of interventions which target to improve the rate of successful extubation in preterm infants.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chongqing VIP database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Database were searched for articles published from the dates of establishment of databases to August 2020, which compared different noninvasive respiratory support models or different doses of caffeine to improve the rate of successful extubation in preterm infants in randomized controlled trials. The references of included articles were also retrieved. And then a meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 33 randomized controlled trials involving 4 536 preterm infants were included. Compared with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP), high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) reduced the nose injury rate [odds ratio (OR)=0.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.15, 0.57), P=0.000 3] and the pneumothorax rate [OR=0.18, 95%CI (0.06, 0.55), P=0.003]; nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) reduced the extubation failure rate [OR=0.33, 95%CI (0.23, 0.48), P<0.000 01], the reintubation rate [OR=0.36, 95%CI (0.20, 0.65), P=0.000 7], the respiratory failure rate [OR=0.33, 95%CI (0.17, 0.64), P=0.000 9], and the pneumothorax rate [OR=0.29, 95%CI (0.12, 0.70), P=0.006]; and biphasic positive airway pressure (BiPAP) reduced the reintubation rate [OR=0.21, 95%CI (0.09, 0.46), P=0.000 1]. Compared with low-dose caffeine, high-dose caffeine reduced the extubation failure rate [OR=0.44, 95%CI (0.32, 0.60), P<0.000 01] and the bronchopulmonary dysplasia rate [OR=0.69, 95%CI (0.48, 0.99), P=0.04], but increased the rate of tachycardia [OR=1.99, 95%CI (1.22, 3.25), P=0.006].ConclusionAccording to the current evidence, compared with NCPAP, NIPPV and BiPAP could be used to improve the rate of successful extubation in preterm infants, HFNC could be used to decrease the risk of nose injury and pneumothorax; the optimal dose of caffeine should be chosen after evaluating the risk of adverse reactions such as tachycardia.
Objective To explore the risk factors of premature infants death. Methods The medical records of hospitalized premature infants admitted to West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2015 and December 2022 were collected. Premature infants were divided into the death group and the non-death group (control group) based on discharge diagnosis of death. Parturient and premature infants related information were collected, and the disease classification and diagnosis of premature infants were analyzed. Results A total of 13 739 premature infants were included, with 53 deaths and a mortality rate of 3.85‰ (53/13 739). The ages of death were 1-49 days, and the median age of death was (9.68±9.35) days. According to the matching method, 212 premature infants were ultimately included. Among them, there were 53 premature infants in the death group and 159 premature infants in the control group. Compared with the control group, premature infants in the death group had lower gestational age, birth weight, lower 1-minute Apgar scores, lower 5-minute Apgar scores and shorter hospital stay (P<0.05), and received more delivery interventions (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in other indicators between the two groups of premature infants (P>0.05). A total of 212 parturient were included. Among them, there were 53 parturients in the death group and 159 parturients in the control group. The use rate of prenatal corticosteroids in the control group was higher than that in the death group (55.35% vs. 54.72%). There was no statistically significant difference in other related factors between the two groups of parturient (P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that longer hospital stay [odds ratio (OR)=0.891, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.842, 0.943), P<0.001], prenatal use of corticosteroids [OR=0.255, 95%CI (0.104, 0.628), P=0.003] reduced the risk of premature infant death. However, tracheal intubation [OR=10.738, 95%CI (2.893, 39.833), P<0.001] increased the risk of premature infant death. Conclusions Clinicians should pay attention to prenatal examination of newborns and pay attention to evaluation of newborn status. Obstetricians and neonatologists should make joint plans for women with high risk factors for preterm delivery. During the hospitalization, after the diagnosis is clear, standardized treatment should be carried out in strict accordance with the guidelines for systemic diseases and expert consensus.
