Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a condition that can be fatal, marked by increased pulmonary vascular resistance that causes blood to shunt from the right to the left. Six infants that present with PPHN due to labile hypoxemia and related cyanosis are examined in this case series. Clinical manifestations, such as premature deliveries, maternal problems, and different reactions to early therapies, are revealed by perinatal and postnatal histories. The newborns' respiratory distress prompted the use of oxygen supplementation and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), but intubation was required due to continued hypoxemia. The series aims to establish a way for further study in this crucial area while offering insightful contributions to the clinical subtleties of PPHN and illustrating the importance of specific therapeutic approaches.
新生儿持续性肺动脉高压(PPHN)是一种可能致命的病症,其特征为肺血管阻力增加,导致血液从右向左分流。本病例系列研究了6例因不稳定低氧血症及相关发绀而出现PPHN的婴儿。围产期和产后病史揭示了早产、母亲问题以及对早期治疗的不同反应等临床表现。新生儿的呼吸窘迫促使使用氧气补充和持续气道正压通气(CPAP),但由于持续低氧血症仍需要进行插管。该系列旨在建立一种在这一关键领域进一步研究的方法,同时为PPHN的临床细微之处提供有见地的贡献,并阐明特定治疗方法的重要性。
