    Abstract:
    Most frequent complications of infusion therapy in children include thrombosis and thrombophlebitis of the umbilical and subclavian veins. In the perinatal period thrombophlebitis of the umbilical vein is due to exogenous infection and becomes the source of umbilical sepsis. Thrombophlebitis of the subclavian vein in nurslings results more frequently from endogenous infection. Because of morpho-functional immaturity in infancy, hyperhydration of tissues is extreme, with vacuolar dystrophy of cells up to their necrosis, particularly in the liver and kidneys. Artificial pulmonary ventilation (APV), particularly in premature newborns, is frequently accompanied by breaks of alveolar septae, development of bullous and interstitial emphysema, pneumothorax. In deeply premature infants APV may be ineffective because of immaturity of the lung tissue.
