METHOD OF ESTIMATING SEVERITY OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE IN NEWBORN BABIES, WHO ARE ON RESPIRATORY SUPPORT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/145 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to neonatology, intensive therapy, and can be used in diagnostics of severity of acute respiratory failure in newborn babies, who are on artificial lung ventilation. For this purpose parameters of partial pressure of carbonic acid and oxygen are determined in capillary blood. In case of increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide in blood ventilation type of acute respiratory failure is diagnosed. In case of I degree failure partial pressure of carbonic acid constitutes 46-60 mm Hg, in case of II degree failure partial pressure of carbonic acid constitutes 61-75 mm Hg, in case of III degree failure partial pressure of carbonic acid is higher than 76 mm Hg. If partial pressure of oxygen in blood decreases, shunt-diffusion type of acute respiratory failure is diagnosed. In case of I degree failure partial pressure of oxygen is 39-35 mm Hg, in case of II degree failure partial pressure of oxygen is 34-30 mm Hg, and in case of III degree failure partial pressure of oxygen is below 30 mm Hg.

EFFECT: method ensures increased accuracy of differential diagnostics of acute respiratory failure in said category of patients due to taking into account its pathogenesis.
