Effect of oral diuretics on pulmonary mechanics in infants with chronic bronchopulmonary dysplasia: results of a double-blind crossover sequential trial.

Only registered users can translate articles

In a randomized double-blind crossover trial with sequential analysis, the effects of oral diuretics were compared with the effects of placebo on pulmonary mechanics in ten infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Pulmonary mechanics were measured before and at the end of a week of treatment

Control of water balance in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: role of endogenous vasopressin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Babies with chronic bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) can sometimes develop pallor, systemic and pulmonary edema, oliguria, and hyponatremia not attributable to cardiopulmonary or renal impairment. These signs and symptoms might, however, be explained by inappropriate control of vasopressin

Addition of metolazone to overcome tolerance to furosemide in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Only registered users can translate articles

A decreased response to the loop diuretic furosemide develops within a few doses in young infants. We tested the hypothesis that the use of the thiazide-like diuretic metolazone, in combination with furosemide, would inhibit water and electrolyte reabsorption and overcome pharmacologic tolerance to

Fluid and electrolyte balance during the first week of life and risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the preterm neonate.

BACKGROUND Early fluid and electrolyte imbalances may be associated with an increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. OBJECTIVE We sought to establish an association between fluid and electrolyte balance in the first week of life and the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. METHODS Clinical

Pulmonary and renal responses to furosemide in infants with stage III-IV bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pulmonary and renal responses to furosemide were evaluated in ten infants with stage III-IV bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Furosemide was given intravenously for two doses, 1 and 2 mg/kg, at approximately 24-hour intervals. The following indices were evaluated in series before and after entry into

Intravenous indomethacin therapy in premature infants with persistent ductus arteriosus--a double-blind controlled study.

Only registered users can translate articles

A double-blind controlled trial of intravenous indomethacin therapy was performed using a group of 55 premature infants (27 placebo, 28 indomethacin) with a significant persistent ductus arteriosus. Indomethacin administration at a mean postnatal age of 8.9 days was followed by a significant effect

Subacute onset of abnormal gait and head drop in a 3-year-old with history of extreme prematurity.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 3-year-old boy who had been a 23-week premature infant had subacute onset of abnormal gait, which progressed to generalized weakness with severe weakness of neck extensors. He had U waves on electrocardiography. His serum potassium was 1.8 mmol/L. The patient had a gastrostomy tube due to chronic

[Diuretics in the neonatal period].

Only registered users can translate articles

Careful management of fluid and electrolytes may require the rational use of diuretic agents in some neonatal pathological conditions. High efficacy diuretics include "loop" diuretics--furosemide, bumetanide and ethacrynic acid. The elimination half-life and renal effects of furosemide are prolonged

Patent ductus arteriosus of the preterm infant.

Only registered users can translate articles

A persistently patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants can have significant clinical consequences, particularly during the recovery period from respiratory distress syndrome. With improvement of ventilation and oxygenation, the pulmonary vascular resistance decreases early and rapidly,
