目的探讨早产儿死亡原因,为降低早产儿病死率提供对策。方法对2007～2008年期间死亡的55例早产儿的临床资料进行分析。结果早产仍然是新生儿死亡的主要原因,早产儿死亡率占新生儿死亡数的52.89%,死亡原因顺次为肺透明膜病、感染、窒息、肺出血、颅内出血等。结论加强产前保健措施,减少早产儿发生率,加强产儿合作,提高窒息复苏水平,积极预防和治疗各种并发症,提高护理质量,可提高早产儿的存活率和存活质量。 Objective To explore the causes of death in premature infants and to provide countermeasures for reducing the mortality of premature infants. Methods Clinical data of 55 premature infants who died during 2007-2008 were analyzed. Results Preterm birth was still the main cause of neonatal death. Premature infant mortality rate accounted for 52.89% of neonatal deaths, followed by hyaline membrane disease, infection, asphyxia, pulmonary hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage. Conclusions Strengthen the prenatal care measures, reduce the incidence of premature children, strengthen cooperation in childbirth, improve the level of resuscitation, actively prevent and treat various complications, improve the quality of care, improve the survival rate and quality of life of premature children.
