 1. What are the main risks factors of developing ROP?     Case Study 2A male premature infant was born by caesarean section at 27 weeks’ gestation with a birth weight of 1100 grams. His Apgar scores were 1 at 1 minute and 6 at 5 minutes. After transfer to the NICU on CPAP 6 cm H2O and an FIO2 of 0.40, the patient’s respiratory status dete-riorated. He was intubated and received mechanical ventilatory respiratory support for 5 weeks for RDS. His first opthalmic examination revealed bilateral changes consistant with Grade 2 ROP. CryoROP criteria, treatment was performed at a corrected gestational age. The infant responded well to the treatment, and both eyes showed rapid regression of the abnormal vessels.2. What classification system is used to describe the extent of ROP?3. How many zones are used to define the area of retina covered by physiologic retinal vascularization?A 37-year-old woman with no medical history presented to the hospital at 26 weeks and 3 days of gestation with preterm labor. Her blood pressure was 126/74 mm Hg and her heart rate (HR) was 91 beats per minute. Ultrasound sonography showed the fetus with a breech presentation, a weight of approximately 900 grams, and an HR of 150 beats per minute. The neonate was 830 grams at birth, a female with no abnormalities. The infant was limp with an HR of 80 beats per minute and an SpO2 of 77% with no breathing effort. The 1-minute Apgar score was 1. Positive pressure ventilation by mask was delivered using a T-piece resuscitator. Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) was 20 cm H2O and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was 4 cm H2O. SpO2 continued to fall to 50%, HR was 70 beats per minute, and soft tissue swelling in the right supraclavicular area was observed. The patient was intubated with a 2.5 uncuffed orotracheal tube. How-ever, the neonate’s SpO2 was maintained at 50% even following intubation. On physical examination, worsening of soft tissue swelling in the right neck, axillary, and supraclavicular areas was found and crepitus was palpable. Abdominal distension and severe cyanosis were observed concurrently. A chest radiograph confirmed the presence of pulmonary air leaks. A needle thoracentesis was performed to treat a right-sided tension pneumothorax. Fifty mL of air was aspirated in the intercostal space of the midclavicular line using a 22-gauge angiocatheter. Following air aspiration, ventilation was achieved for both lungs with the use of the Burnell Jet Ventilator, and the loss of edema in the neck area and reduction of subcutaneous emphysema were observed. The neonate’s SpO2 gradually rose to mid 80s and HR was maintained at 170 beats per minute. The neonate was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit, where high-frequency jet ventilation was continued. 1. What are the risk factors for air leaks in the neonate?2. What noninvasive procedure uses a bright light probe placed against the infant’s chest wall to diagnose a pneumothorax?3. Name the two techniques for treating air leaks.  Health Science Science Nursing SCIENCE / RSPT Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
