Little is known regarding the impact of concurrent critical illness and thoracic noncardiac perioperative critical care on postnatal brain development. Previously, we reported smaller total brain volumes in both critically ill full‐term and premature patients following complex perioperative critical care for long‐gap esophageal atresia (LGEA). Our current report assessed trends in regional brain sizes during infancy, and probed for any group differences.

需要长期重症监护的长间隙食管闭锁新生儿手术后婴儿区域脑大小的定量 MRI 研究

关于并发危重疾病和胸部非心脏围手术期重症监护对产后大脑发育的影响知之甚少。以前，我们报告了在长间隙食管闭锁 (LGEA) 的复杂围手术期重症监护后，危重足月和早产患者的总脑容量较小。我们当前的报告评估了婴儿时期大脑区域大小的趋势，并探讨了任何群体差异。
