Muutused aju ja siseelundite verevoolu kiiruses asfüksias sündinud vastsündinutel

Raskes asfüksias sündinud lastel teki­vad pärast sündi lisaks neuroloogiliste­le probleemidele mitmete elundite ve­revarustuse häired. Elundikahjustuse ulatust aitab hinnata verevoolukiiruste uurimine aju ja vistseraalsete organite arterites. Raske hüpoksilis-isheemilise entsefalopaatia (HIE) korral kujuneb esimesel elunädalal vasoparalüüsi tõttu oluline aju verevoolu kiiruse suurene­mine. Ülemises mesenteriaalarteris ja truncus coeliacus’es esineb kerge ning mõõduka HIE korral esimestel tundidel asfüksia järel verevoolukiiruse kompen­satoorne suurenemine, raske HIE korral verevoolukiiruse vähenemine neeruar­teris ja mesenteriaalarteris. Ühe kuu va­nuses verevoolukiirused vistseraalsetes arterites normaliseeruvad, raske HIEga lastel kujuneb väike pea ümbermõõt ja väike verevoolukiirus ajuarterites. Eesti Arst 2 008; 87(10):755−76

Neonatal Assessment In The Delivery Room – Trial To Evaluate A Specified Type Of Apgar (Test-Apgar)

Background Since an objective description is essential to determine infant’s postnatal condition and efficacy of interventions, two scores were suggested in the past but weren’t tested yet: The Specified-Apgar uses the 5 items of the conventional Apgar score; however describes the condition regardless of gestational age (GA) or resuscitative interventions. The Expanded-Apgar measures interventions needed to achieve this condition. We hypothesized that the combination of both (Combined-Apgar) describes postnatal condition of preterm infants better than either of the scores alone. Methods Scores were assessed in preterm infants below 32 completed weeks of gestation. Data were prospectively collected in 20 NICU in 12 countries. Prediction of poor outcome (death, severe/moderate BPD, IVH, CPL and ROP) was used as a surrogate parameter to compare the scores. To compare predictive value the AUC for the ROC was calculated. Results Of 2150 eligible newborns, data on 1855 infants with a mean GA of 286/7 ± 23/7 weeks were analyzed. At 1 minute, the Combined-Apgar was significantly better in predicting poor outcome than the Specified- or Expanded-Apgar alone. Of infants with a very low score at 5 or 10 minutes 81% or 100% had a poor outcome, respectively. In these infants the relative risk (RR) for perinatal mortality was 24.93 (13.16-47.20) and 31.34 (15.91-61.71), respectively. Conclusion The Combined-Apgar allows a more appropriate description of infant’s condition under conditions of modern neonatal care. It should be used as a tool for better comparison of group of infants and postnatal interventions. Trial registration clinicaltrials.gov Protocol Registration System (NCT00623038).
