Recently, a novel approach to imaging Superior Vena Cava (SVC) flow has been presented, showing better repeatability and better agreement with MRI-derived SVC flow measures. The objective was to establish normal values of SVC flow with the novel approach in the first 48 h of life.
This was a prospective, observational study. All infants with gestational age (GA) less than 31 weeks were eligible. Echocardiographic evaluation was performed at 5, 12, 24, 48 h of postnatal life. A subgroup of uncomplicated infants was studied to define a normal range for SVC flow.
Forty-five infants were enrolled. We estimated normative values in a subgroup of 31 uncomplicated infants. The median SVC flow significantly increases from 83 ml/kg/min at 5 h of life to 153 ml/kg/min at 48 h (p < .001).
Using the novel approach we derived normal values of SVC flow in a cohort of uncomplicated preterm population at high risk for developing IVH.
最近,一种用于成像上腔静脉(SVC)血流的新方法已被提出,显示出更好的可重复性以及与MRI得出的SVC血流测量值更好的一致性。目的是用这种新方法确定出生后最初48小时内SVC血流的正常值。
这是一项前瞻性观察性研究。所有孕周(GA)小于31周的婴儿均符合条件。在出生后5、12、24、48小时进行超声心动图评估。对一组无并发症的婴儿进行研究以确定SVC血流的正常范围。
共纳入45名婴儿。我们在31名无并发症的婴儿亚组中估计了正常值。SVC血流中位数从出生后5小时的83毫升/千克/分钟显著增加至48小时的153毫升/千克/分钟(p <.001)。
使用这种新方法,我们得出了一组有发生脑室内出血高风险的无并发症早产人群的SVC血流正常值。
