Long-term experiences with home oxygenotherapy in premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplásia
- Neonatologické oddělení, FN a LF UK, Plzeň
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia occures in a significant proportion of premature infants in the Czech Republic as well as in other developed
countries. The oxygenotherapy is part of treament. Authors describe their own experiences with the long-term home oxygenotherapy
administration in a group of 32 infants (mean gestational age 26,3 wks, mean birth weight 784 G). The average duration of home oxygenotherapy
was 168 days. The main advantage of home oxygenotherapy is a shorter hospital stay resulting in a better psychomotor
development support, family – child bonding, nosocomial infections elimination and lower health care costs. The mobile unit with fluid
oxygen enables a good infant’s mobility. No complications of the oxygenotherapy at home conditions appeared. The authors discuss
other treatment possibilities in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Keywords: preterm infants, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, home oxygenotherapy.
