Ventilación mecanica y uso de oxígeno en prematuros tratados con citrato de cafeina o aminofilina

Abstract

The consequences of organic immaturity with difficulties in adapting to extrauterine life, bring with them, difficult challenges and high costs, referring to the economic and human lives in newborn units; hundreds of infants die from complicationsassociated with prematurity. Respiratory complications, occupy the top of all these and is a huge challenge to find strategies to quickly achieve independence and autonomy of preterm respiratory mechanics, including the shortest time possible the use of oxygen, it´s known irreversible negative consequences of mechanical ventilation on lung architecture and hemodynamic status and oxygen toxicity on the lungs themselves and the retina (retinopathy and bronchopulmonary dysplasia)
