[Echography of the hip in premature infants].

The authors report the data relative to 50 preterm infants with gestational age less than or equal to 34 weeks. The newborns were studied sequentially with clinical and US examination from February 28, 1989 to March 23, 1990 in order to exclude hip dysplasia or dislocation. US examination was carried out according to Graf's technique. All the newborns had another clinical examination at one year of age in order to evaluate their normal walking. Risk factors had poor significance in the studied group of infants.

[Surfactant and ambroxol in the therapy of idiopathic respiratory syndrome in newborn infants].

The Authors have carried out a study on 30 newborns, affected by idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS), divided into 3 statistically comparable groups, treated, in addition to mechanical ventilation, respectively with Tokio-Akita (TA) surfactant, placebo (both by endotracheal administration) and ambroxol given by intravenous infusion. The clinical evolution of the three groups was studied, above all as related to mortality, ventilation length, oxygen need, immediate and successive pulmonary complications and cerebral haemorrhage. Mortality was lower in the group treated with ambroxol, while the ventilation length, the average insufflation pressure and the oxygen need were lower in the group treated with surfactant, compared with the other two groups. Pulmonary complications were present only in the group treated with placebo and ambroxol, whereas cerebral haemorrhage rate is higher in the group treated with surfactant. On the basis of the results achieved, some important observations are suggested and possible aetiological therapies of IRDS are formulated.

[Pulmonary edema. A rare complication of the percutaneous insertion of silastic central venous catheters].

Seven newborn infants (birth weight 920 to 1,900 g) who developed pulmonary oedema as a complication of the use of percutaneous silastic central venous catheters are described. Clinical symptoms occurred three to forty days after catheter placement. In each case, radiographic detection, performed by the injection of radiopaque dye, localized the tip of the catheter in the pulmonary artery or in its collateral branches. Clinical symptoms decreased after catheter replacement in the right atrium. The casistic examination allows the Authors to suggest some aetiopathogenetic hypothesis.
