Abstract
Objective: To evaluate cardiorespiratory status in preterm infants receiving dexmedetomidine using high-resolution physiologic data.
Study design: We analyzed preterm infants with continuous heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) data for 24 hours preceding and 48 hours following dexmedetomidine initiation. Invasive arterial blood pressure (ABP), when available, was analyzed.
Results: In 100 infants with mean gestational age of 28 weeks and high baseline illness severity, mean HR decreased from 152 to 141 beats per minute while mean SpO2 increased from 91% to 93% in the 48 hours after dexmedetomidine initiation (p<0.01). In 57 infants with continuous ABP monitoring, mean ABP increased from 40 to 42 mmHg (p=0.01). Vasoactive-inotropic support increased before and after initiation.
Conclusions: We observed cardiorespiratory changes in critically ill preterm infants following dexmedetomidine initiation; mean HR decreased and mean SpO2 increased in the 48 hours after initiation. In a subset, mean ABP increased along with vasoactive-inotropic support.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
