In 1986, the modified Schwartz formula (MSF = 0.33 x length (cm)/plasma creatinine (mg/dL)) was developed. In the MSF, GFR was estimated in premature infants during the first post-natal year. The goal of the present study was to test the applicability of the MSF in premature infants during the neonatal period and to evaluate the clinical use of serum creatinine (Cr) as a predictor of GFR. In 42 premature infants of mean (+/-SD) birthweight 1506.6 (+/-388.8) g, gestational age 31.3 (+/-1.7) wks and post-natal age 14.7 (+/-8.3) d, the correlation between GFR, estimated by endogenous creatinine clearance (ECrC), was compared with the serum Cr and with GFR estimated by the MSF. The correlation coefficient between ECrC and serum Cr was 0.6789 and between estimated GFR derived from ECrC and MSF, 0.4657. In premature infants during the neonatal period, serum Cr has a better correlation with GFR than with MSF. When serum Cr is less than 0.9 mg/dL, the 95% confidence interval suggests that at least 89% of the infants can be expected to have an ECrC within the normal range.</p>","PeriodicalId":80096,"journal":{"name":"Neonatal intensive care : the journal of perinatology-neonatology","volume":"6 4","pages":"37-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21020609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated instantaneous flow in several infusion devices set at a rate of 1 ml/hr. The following devices were tested: Infusion Pumps: IMED 956A, IVAC 570, IVION \"Kids Pump.\" Syringe Pumps: Medfusion, Baxter, Baxter OR. Tests were performed using a Bio-Tek Infusion Device Analyzer (Model IDA-1). Instantaneous flow rate was defined as Q1/T1 where: Q=sample volume and T=time required to deliver sample volume. The infusion devices were received directly from their respective manufacturers and had not seen clinical service before testing. The units were fully charged and were tested while on AC power. The tests were conducted by the authors, using standard infusion sets and commercially prepared 5% dextrose and 0.45% sodium chloride solution. Each pump was tested for several hours and multiple trials were performed on each pump. The infusion pumps, IMED, IVION, and IVAC all demonstrated deviations from the desired flow rate. The IVAC pump had a greater fluctuation in flow from the set value of 1 ml/hr (p less than 0.02). Variances from mean +/- standard error for each device are shown in parenthesis. IMED 965A (0.005+/-0.014), IVION Kid's Pump (0.002+/-0.009), IVAC 570 (0.001+/-0.006). The Baxter syringe pump (0.002+/-0.009) also had a wide variance in flow. The Baxter OR (0.001+/-0.005) and the Medfusion (0.001+/-0.008) syringe pumps maintained the most consistent flow and showed less variance than the other devices tested.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)</p>","PeriodicalId":80096,"journal":{"name":"Neonatal intensive care : the journal of perinatology-neonatology","volume":"6 3","pages":"20-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21020373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
