2023年7月31日 · Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a hormone produced by stressed right ventricles. BNP levels are elevated in babies with PPHN. BNP level of more than 550pg/ml is predictive of persistent pulmonary hypertension.

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, or PPHN, is a life-threatening breathing issue that occurs when your newborn doesn’t adapt to breathing outside of your uterus. PPHN happens when your baby’s pulmonary arteries don’t open up enough, so your baby’s brain and organs don’t get enough oxygen.

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), previously referred to as persistent fetal circulation, is a syndrome of impaired circulatory adaptation at birth (1). The hallmark of PPHN physiology is sustained elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and persistent hypoxemia after birth (2).

新生儿持续性肺动脉高压（pphn）是指在新生儿出生后由于各种原因导致的肺血管阻力持续性增高，使由胎儿型循环过渡至正常"成人"型循环发生障碍，从而引起的心房和（或）动脉导管水平由右向左血液分流，临床常出现严重低氧血症甚至呼吸衰竭等症状。

什麼是新生兒持續肺高壓 (PPHN)? 正常情況下,心臟右側會泵取血液到肺臟,氧氣可在肺 臟中進入血液。 心臟左側接受富含氧氣的血液,再泵送 到人體其他部位。 嬰兒出生之前從胎盤接受氧氣,極少血液流入肺臟,因為肺臟還不會用到。 嬰兒出生且開始呼吸空氣之後,更多血液流到肺臟,吸取氧氣然後運送到全身上下。 罹患 PPHN 的嬰兒,從心臟運送血液到肺 臟的血管中血壓較高(高血壓)。 因此, 出生後流入肺臟的血液增加不夠, 在血 流減少的情況下,人體未得到足夠氧氣。 PPHN 有什麼 …

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is one of the main causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by sustained elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), preventing an increase in pulmonary blood flow ...

新生儿持续肺动脉高压是由多种病因引起的新生儿出生后肺循环压力和阻力持续增高，而发生心内水平 (通过卵圆孔)和 (或)动脉导管水平的右向左或双向分流，出现严重低氧血症，造成多器官系统由于缺氧和酸 中毒 引起的功能障碍，重者死亡。 肺小动脉肌层增厚，肺血管管腔狭窄，或肺血管床面积减少，发生原因不明，可能与慢性宫内缺氧或先天因素 (如先天性膈疝等)有关。 占大多数，任何宫内或出生后引起低氧、酸 中毒 的因素均可使肺小动脉痉… 的因素均可使肺小动脉痉 …

PPHN is being increasingly recognised in neonatal practice with an estimated incidence of 2-6/1000 births. It can occur in both term and preterm neonates and is perhaps the most common cause of death in infants of birth weight > 1000g. The …

Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) DEFINITION: PPHN is persistence after birth of the high pulmonary arterial pressure (P PA), often suprasystemic, that is characteristic of the fetal circulation. PPHN may occur with or without apparent pulmonary disease. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY: In fetal life, pulmonary blood flow (Qp) is low (5 ...

2024年8月21日 · Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) occurs when pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) remains abnormally elevated after birth, resulting in right-to-left shunting of blood through fetal circulatory pathways. This in turn leads to severe hypoxemia that may not respond to conventional respiratory support.
