We decided to carry out this study to highlight the risk factors, clinical presentations and
prognosis for AFS in the neonatal care department at Al-Assad University Hospital in Lattakia,
and thus reaching conclusions and recommendations that avoid
high incidence rates of this lifethreatening
condition. The aim of the study was to shed light on the clinical and laboratory
characteristics of the AFS when developing the diagnosis and to study its potential risk factors for
its occurrence of neonates in the department of neonatal care. The gold standard for diagnosing
AFS in our study was the positive results of blood culture by isolating fungal yeasts from all
neonates of the study sample.
The aim of this study was to compare between two ways of mechanical ventilation,
invasive & non invasive, and study the results (morbidity – mortality – complications)
A number of patients who had undergone to craniotomies for tumor resection,
re- intubated in ICU as urgent procedure. This may result in poor prognosis, overloading the staff, and
high cost.
The goal is looking for clinical, surgical, and laborato
ry risk factors helping in early detection of cases
which require keep ETT in place and maintaining of ventilation.
