Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical effect and safety of Caffeine Citrate at different maintenance doses in the treatment of apnea in premature infants.Methods A total of 110 premature infants with apnea in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Yueyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the research subjects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into an experimental group and a control group,with 55 cases in each group.Both groups were given a loading dose of Caffeine Citrate with 20 mg/kg for the first occurrence of apnea.After 24 hours,the experimental group was given maintenance dose of high-dose Caffeine Citrate with 10 mg/(kg·d),and the control group was given maintenance dose of low-dose Caffeine Citrate with 5 mg/(kg·d).The duration of apnea,the onset frequency of apnea,the success rate of withdrawal,the duration of invasive ventilator,the duration of non-invasive ventilator,the duration of oxygen therapy,the total length of hospital stay,and the incidence of various short-term complications were compared between the two groups.Results The frequency and duration of apnea in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group,and the success rate of withdrawal was higher than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in invasive ventilator use time,non-invasive ventilator use time,oxygen therapy duration and total hospital stay between the two groups(P>0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of short-term complications(bronchopulmonary dysplasia,necrotizing enterocolitis,ductus arteriosus opening)between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Compared with low-dose of Caffeine Citrate,high-dose of Caffeine Citrate can effectively reduce the frequency of apnea attacks in children,shorten the duration of apnea,improve the success rate of withdrawal,and does not increase the incidence of complications.It has better efficacy and is worthy of promotion and application.
