Predictors of mortality in ventilated neonates
Keywords:
patients, ventilated neonates, predictors mortalityAbstract
In all critically ill patients, the first objective should always be to preserve life and prevent or minimize damage to vital organs such as the brain and kidneys. The introduction of mechanical ventilation into neonatal intensive care units improved the survival of sick newborn. Assisted ventilation has revolutionized the outcome of sick newborn in NICUs. It is one of the most important advancements in neonatal medicine which achieves reduction in neonatal mortality. The aim of this study is to study the predictors that influence the mortality rates among mechanically ventilated neonates with the objectives to study the various predictors of mortality of mechanically ventilated neonates and to determine the various complications associated with ventilation and their effect on outcome of neonates. Results : Out of the 83 neonates who were included in the analysis, 50(60.25%) expired and 33 survived(39.75%). Factors which showed significance among those died were mean age, weight, mean gestational age, initial arterial pH, PaO2, PaCO2, duration of ventilation and duration of hospital stay.
