Abstract: (158 Views)
Background and aim: This study investigates the origin of high blood pressure in the pulmonary vessels, its treatability, and the duration required for the normalization of pulmonary arterial pressure. Determining the treatability and selecting the appropriate treatment necessitates examining the causes of this condition.
Methods: This study was conducted as a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study population included neonates admitted to the neonatal and NICU departments of Hazrat Masoumeh Hospital and Izadi Hospital during 2019-2020, who had pulmonary hypertension and had not previously undergone medical or surgical treatment. Sampling was performed using the census method. Variables such as whether the neonate was term or preterm, age, gender, pulmonary arterial pressure measured by echocardiography, presence or absence of associated cardiac problems, and presence or absence of underlying diseases were extracted from medical records.
Results: Among the risk factors and causes of pulmonary hypertension in hospitalized neonates, the frequency of hernia and idiopathic cases was each 4 (0.9%), asphyxia in 8 (1.9%), pneumothorax in 12 (2.8%), congenital heart anomalies in 17 (4%), sepsis in 38 (8.8%), PDA in 53 (12.3%), malignant cases in 78 (18.1%), and RDS in 196 (45.6%).
Conclusion: The results indicated that cardiac diseases are highly prevalent among neonates with pulmonary hypertension.
