METHOD FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE IN PREMATURE INFANTS AND DETERMINATION OF TREATMENT TACTICS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G01N33/49 A61H31/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to pediatrics and neontology, and can be used to determine the tactics of treating acute respiratory failure (ARF) in premature infants. In a newborn with a gestational age of 25-36 weeks, weighing less than 2500 g, with an Apgar score at 1 minute of life of 7 points or less in the presence of clinical signs of ARF and рО₂ less than 45 mm Hg. determine the number of triglycerides (TG) in the central venous blood of the newborn in the first 2 hours of postnatal life. Based on the results obtained, further treatment tactics are determined.

EFFECT: invention allows determining the severity of ARF through the use of laboratory markers of gas exchange function of the lungs and the level of TG in the blood serum, reducing the risk of developing ventilator-associated lung damage and determining the optimal mode and parameters of ventilation for resolving respiratory failure by early predicting the duration of mechanical ventilation by assessing the totality of the most significant indicators.
