[Effect of lipine, a new antihypoxic agent on some respiratory indices in newborn infants after asphyxia].

Abstract

Lipine, a new antihypoxic drug, has been studied for its effect on respiration and pulmonary gaseous exchange in 47 newborn children, health and with respiratory distress syndrome stresses (SRD) after perinatal asphyxia. It is shown that lipine inhalations cause a considerable increase in duration of respiratory cycle, decrease of respiration frequency, ratio of ispiration di time, to expiration time, increase of alveolar ventilation volume and decrease of respiratory dead space ventilation volume in all lung ventilation volume in newborns with SRD, to a larger degree pronounced in premature children. A conclusion is made on the positive effect of lipine on the state of respiration function and gaseous exchange in lungs in newborn children with symptoms of SRD.
