Lung function in CLD children is largely normal in comparison with preterm controls, apart from some evidence of reversible small airway obstruction. Respiratory symptomatology is not increased in chronic disease children in comparison with control preterm children.
Transthoracic pacing is a life-saving option in an emergency situation, when maximal pharmacological support fails to maintain adequate cardiac output. It may have some additional beneficial effect on blood pressure generation in these patients. To prevent skin injury, the output used needs to be as low as feasible, and the period of pacing as brief as practicable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
