Relationship between the severity of respiratory and cardiovascular disorders in preterm infants and the degree and size of maternal abnormal placentation

The study findings demonstrated that the severity of respiratory and cardiovascular disorders in preterm infants was not influenced by the degree of abnormal placental invasion or the anatomical and topographic type of placental implantation. However, a significant increase in hospitalization duration was observed in newborns of mothers with placenta percreta compared to those born to mothers with placenta accreta, likely due to the lower gestational age of infants born to mothers with placenta percreta. Additionally, an increase in the duration of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and the need for higher HFOV parameters, particularly mean airway pressure, were noted in preterm infants born to mothers with a placental hernia diameter exceeding 7 cm.
