Title: The effect of hormonal adaptation on the cardio-respiratory system of late premature infants in the early neonatal period.

Abstract

The aim of the work is to study the effect of hormonal status on cardio-respiratory adaptation of late premature newborns in the early neonatal period.  The study included 105 newborns with a gestation period of 34-36 weeks. A comprehensive assessment of the early adaptation period was carried out, the level of TSH, T3, T4 total, T4 free, cortisol was determined. Blood sampling was carried out after birth from the umbilical cord vein and on the 4th day from the subcutaneous veins. The concentration of hormones was determined by the method of solid-phase enzyme immunoassay using standard sets of "Alkor Bio Company" (Russia). Newborns in need of respiratory and cardiotonic therapy had reduced concentrations of T3, T4 free and cord blood cortisol. On the 4th day of life, newborns in need of respiratory therapy showed a decrease in free T4 and an increase in cortisol, children receiving cardiotonic support had a reduced concentration of free T4.  Hormonal maladaptation can be considered as an additional factor in the pathogenesis of respiratory disorders in late premature newborns along with a reduced gas exchange area in the lungs, immaturity of sodium pumps in alveolocytes and surfactant deficiency
