Question
Chapter 48.3, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether in Fujiwara’s study some infants had high oxygen levels of about 70 mmHg after the surfactant therapy.
Introduction: The adrenal glands are responsible for making the glucocorticoids hormone. The function performed by the hormone glucocorticoids is the stimulation of surfactant production in the lungs.

As part of the screening procedure, hemoglobin levels and hemoglobin fractionation and quantification using high perfommance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were perfommed on the mother and her newborn infant. The mother's hemoglobin concentration was 125 g/L, and the newborn's was 210 g/L. The mother's hemoglobin fractions were quantified as 97% Hb A, 2% Hb A2, and 1% Hb F by HPLC. The newborn's results showed 88% Hb F, 10% Hb A, and 2% Hb A2. 1.arrow_forwardReaction paper about Effects of Synchronization during Noninvasive Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation in Preterm Infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome Immediately after Extubation.arrow_forward
