Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of caffeine citrate on oxygen metabolism in brain and intestine in premature infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).Methods Preterm infants aged 30-34 weeks with NRDS admitted in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center during May 2015 and April 2016 were enrolled.They were administrated with maintainance dose of caffeine citrate at the 2nd day after birth.The oxygen metabolism in brain and intestine 1 h before,during and after the administration were recorded by near infrared spectroscopy.Results The cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) showed a less significant change before,during and after treatment.While a marked increase was seen in intestinal oxygen saturation (SsO2) during and after caffeine citrate administration,as well as the change of SsO2/ScO2 than before.SsO2/ScO2 was dramatical higher in infants with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) than in those with incubator oxygen supply and mechanical ventilation during and after caffeine citrate treatment than before.Conclusion Caffeine citrate may improve the delivery of oxygen and may increase the oxygenation in local tissues for preterm infants with NRDS,especially for infants with nCPAP.
