La creaci\u00f3n de una placenta artificial destinada a cuidar a reci\u00e9n nacidos prematuros extremos mediante una tecnolog\u00eda que busca recrear las condiciones del ambiente intrauterino es el ambicioso proyecto en que participa Sebasti\u00e1n Illanes<\/a>, m\u00e9dico e investigador del Centro Basal IMPACT<\/a> y acad\u00e9mico de la Universidad de los Andes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La iniciativa, que es liderada por Matthew Kemp de la Universidad Nacional de Singapur<\/a>, es un esfuerzo cient\u00edfico internacional enfocado en ofrecer una alternativa a la incubaci\u00f3n tradicional para beb\u00e9s nacidos antes de las 25 semanas de gestaci\u00f3n.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En estos casos, los m\u00e9todos actuales presentan altas tasas de mortalidad y riesgo de secuelas severas. Sin embargo, la placenta artificial mantiene al reci\u00e9n nacido en un entorno l\u00edquido, con oxigenaci\u00f3n y alimentaci\u00f3n controlada, reduciendo el estr\u00e9s fisiol\u00f3gico que provoca la exposici\u00f3n temprana a la ventilaci\u00f3n mec\u00e1nica en el beb\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde Chile, el equipo de investigaci\u00f3n Uandes ha contribuido en el dise\u00f1o conceptual, la validaci\u00f3n biom\u00e9dica y el an\u00e1lisis cl\u00ednico del proyecto<\/strong>, aportando evidencia precl\u00ednica sobre su potencial para mejorar la supervivencia y disminuir las complicaciones asociadas a la prematurez extrema tanto en la madre como en el reci\u00e9n nacido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasta ahora, los resultados obtenidos indican que es posible sostener funciones vitales clave de estos reci\u00e9n nacidos mientras el desarrollo pulmonar y neurol\u00f3gico contin\u00faa fuera del \u00fatero materno, pero en condiciones similares a las naturales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sebasti\u00e1n Illanes ha mencionado que el objetivo del proyecto no es \u201creemplazar el embarazo\u201d, sino extenderlo de manera artificial en situaciones donde el parto prematuro es inevitable, ofreciendo una opci\u00f3n terap\u00e9utica intermedia entre el \u00fatero y la incubadora tradicional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La investigaci\u00f3n se encuentra a\u00fan en fase experimental y precl\u00ednica, pero sus avances posicionan al pa\u00eds como un actor relevante en este campo emergente de la medicina perinatal. De confirmarse su eficacia y seguridad en futuras etapas, la placenta artificial podr\u00eda representar un cambio significativo en el manejo de la prematurez extrema y en las posibilidades de sobrevida de los reci\u00e9n nacidos m\u00e1s vulnerables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
