Abstract

Purpose : The aim of this study was to examine whether hypercapnia during the first seven days of life was associated with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants requiring mechanical ventilation. Methods : A matched pair analysis was performed for 19 preterm infants with severe IVH(grade$\geq$3) and 38 infants with no severe IVH (normal or grade 1), who required mechanical ventilation for more than seven days. The univariate and multivariate analysis of severe IVH with maximal and minimal $PaCO_2$, averag $PaCO_2$, SD of $PaCO_2$, and difference in the $PaCO_2$ were assessed. The major perinatal factors and maximal ventilator index (VI) were also compared. Results : Infants with severe IVH had a higher maximal $PaCO_2$ (86.1$\pm$18.4 mmHg vs. 60.1$\pm$ 11.6 mmHg, P <0.001) and mean $PaCO_2$ (47.5$\pm$5.6 mmHg vs. 41.2$\pm$6.3 mmHg, P=0.004) and a larger SD or difference in $PaCO_2$ (14.0$\pm$4.4 mmHg vs. 9.0$\pm$2.4 mmHg; 60.3$\pm$20.9 mmHg vs. 35.5$\pm$11.8 mmHg, P <0.001). However the minimal $PaCO_2$ values did not differ between the groups. Disseminated intravascular coagulation, pulmonary hemorrhage, and the air leak syndrome were more frequent in the IVH group than in the controls. The maximal VI on each day was higher in the IVH group. The multivariate logistic regression analysis after controlling for bleeding tendency showed that the air leak syndrome, maximal VI, and maximal $PaCO_2$ were independently associated with severe IVH [OR, 1.324 (95% CI, 1.011-1.733; P=0.041)]. Conclusion : Extreme hypercapnia was significantly associated with severe IVH in preterm infants, after adjustment for major perinatal risk factors. Frequent monitoring of the $PaCO_2$ may be important for early detection of inadvertent hypercapnia and prompt correction of high PaCOS levels.

목 적 : 기계적 환기요법을 시행 받은 미숙아에서 생후 첫 7일 동안 고탄산혈증과 중증 뇌실내 출혈의 발생과의 연관성을 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법:출생 후 7일 이상 기계적 환기 요법을 받은 재태주령 37주 미만의 미숙아를 대상으로 하여, 3단계 이상의 뇌실내 출혈로 진단받은 경우 IVH 군(n=19)으로, 정상 또는 1단계 뇌실내 출혈을 보인 경우, 출생 체중과 주수를 대응하여 대조군(n=38)으로 선정하였다. 두 군간의 생후 첫 7일 동안 혈중 이산화탄소 분압($PaCO_2$)의 최대값, 최소값, 평균값과 변화 정도(fluctuation)를 측정하기 위한 지표로 혈중 이산화탄소 분압의 최대값과 최소값의 차이(maximum-minimum)와 평균값의 표준편차를 비교 분석하였다. 결 과:재태주령과 출생체중은 IVH 군은 26.9$\pm$1.7주, 975.3$\pm$262.5g이었고, 대조군은 26.8$\pm$1.5주, 915.6$\pm$198.2 g이었다. IVH 군에서 생후 7일 동안 혈중 이산화탄소 분압의 최대값(IVH 군 vs. 대조군, 86.1$\pm$ 18.4 mmHg vs. 60.1$\pm$11.6mmHg, P <0.001), 평균값 (47.5$\pm$5.6 mmHg vs. 41.2$\pm$6.3mmHg, P=0.004), 최대값과 최소값의 차이(60.3$\pm$20.9 mmHg vs. 35.5$\pm$ 11.8 mmHg, P < 0.001), 평균값의 표준편차(14.0$\pm$4.4mmHg vs. 9.0$\pm$2.4 mmHg, P <0.001)는 유의하게 높았으나 최소값은 두 군 간의 차이가 없었다. 또한 IVH군에서 파종성혈관내응고[11 (57.9%):9 (23.7%), P=0.011], 폐출혈[12 (63.2%):10 (26.3%), P=0.007], 공기누출 증후군[4 (21.1%):1 (2.6%), P=0.021]의 빈도가 많았고, 생후 7일 동안 인공 호흡기 지수의 최대값이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 출혈성 경향, 공기누출증후군, 인공 호흡기 지수의 영향력을 통제한 후에는 혈중 이산화탄소 분압의 최대값이 odds ratio 1.324 (95%CI: 1.011-1.733, P=0.041)로 중증 뇌실내 출혈과 통계적으로 유의한 연관성을 보였다. 결 론 : 기계적 환기 요법을 시행 받은 미숙아에서 출생 후 첫 7일 동안 극심한 고탄산혈증은 뇌출혈의 다른 위험 인자의 영향을 배제한 후에도 중증 뇌실내 출혈의 발생과 연관성을 보였다. 따라서 생후 초기에 호흡기 유발 폐손상을 막기 위해 고탄산혈증을 허용하는 시도는 중요하지만, 과도한 고탄산혈증과 심한 이산화탄소 분압의 변화를 피하고 적절한 이산화탄소 분압을 유지하는 노력이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
