Acute and protracted effects of intratracheal surfactant application on internal carotid blood flow velocity, blood pressure and carbondioxide tension in very low birth weight infants

Abstract

As a part of a multicentre clinical trial of prophylactic treatment with bovine surfactant (SF-RI 1) given to immature infants below 31 gestational weeks, short term and protracted effects on cerebral haemodynamics were assessed by Dopplersonographic measurements of the right internal carotid artery. Measurements were performed every 10 min for 1 h after intratracheal application of the surfactant in ten treated infants. The results of additional measurements every 12 h up to the age of 100 h were compared with a control group. In single cases there were changes of time averaged mean maximum velocity (Vmax) of as much as 100% immediately after intratracheal surfactant application, although the mean short term and protracted variability of Vmax was the same as the protracted variability in the control group. Variability of mean arterial blood pressure and transcutaneous carbondioxide tension (tcpCO2) was even less. With proper adjustment of ventilatory settings intratracheal treatment with surfactant does not affect variability or absolute values of internal carotid Vmax, mean arterial blood pressure and transcutaneous pCO2 in low birth weight infants within 100 h after application.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
