[Significance of catecholamine levels in the diagnosis and prognosis of dysadaptation of preterm newborn infants].
Analysis of the clinical status of preterm newborns and the results of histochemical studies of the red cell catecholamine depositing function has led the authors to a conclusion that the Apgar score is reliable only in case of the newborn's critical condition. In slight and medium-severity asphyxia high red cell satiation with catecholamine granules was associated with a favorable outcome for the newborns. The authors claim that analysis of red cell catecholamine-depositing function is a sufficiently reliable diagnostic and prognostic criterion for the assessment of a preterm newborn's status.
