新生儿猝死17例

17 CASES OF SUDDEN NEONATAL DEATH

新生儿猝死不同于婴儿猝死综合征。前者系指原本“健康”或病情“轻微”的新生儿情况骤然恶化,发展迅速,短期内死亡。而后者的概念是外表健康的婴儿在睡眠中突然死亡,而常规病解下不能找到明显的致死原因。新生儿猝死并非罕见,本文报道我院1985年1月～1990年12月新生儿猝死17例,并对其围产期因素及发病方式、死亡原因进行分析探讨。本病的预防重点是提高警惕和加强监护。

Sudden neonatal death (SND) differs from sudden infant death syn- drome (SIDS). The characterisitic of SND is that thee newborn who had been 'healthy' or only had had 'slight' ailment suddenly aggravated and soon died in sleeping. We are unable to find out the cause of death by autopsy. SND is not an exceptional syndrome. This paper reported 17 cases with SND in our hospital from Jan. 1985 to Dec. 1990 and analysed the factors in perinatal term, the type of the attack and the cause of dea- th. This syndrome may be preventecl by sharp vigilance and intensive care.
