Description
Summary:One of the current problems of perinatal neurology is the hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in newborns associated with the influence of the hypoxia upon the fetus, intranatal and postnatal asphyxia on one hand and a lack of the efficient therapy schemes on the other hand. Due to this, the purpose of this pilotstudy isto identify the effects of drug Cytoflavin, included into the complex therapy scheme for the newborns with the cerebral ischemia of II-III stages, on the blood acid-base balance. A retrospective analysis of the results of the complex therapy for 16 newborns with the moderate (14 children) and severe (2 children) brain ischemia was performed. Cytoflavin was included in the standard therapy schemes for all children at a dose of 2 ml/kg per day at a dilution of 5% glucose solution at the ratio of 1:5, intravenously, microfluidically for 20 hours for 3 days. In addition to the standard examination, the blood acid-base balance assessment using the follow-up microgasometric method was included (after 60 min and then every 6 hours until 72 hours of observation). All children had positive tendency to the arresting of the metabolic acidosis (in the form of the decrease of the base deficiency after 24 hours and increase of pH level (the level of 7.30 was reached by 12 hours of age in full-term newborns and 24 hour of age in the preterm newborns). The revealed positive changes in the time of the metabolic acidosis arresting along with the small volumes of the infusion and good tolerability are the cause for the planning of the subsequent, more large-scale studies.
