Cerebral oxygenation and echocardiographic parameters in preterm neonates with a patent ductus arteriosus: an observational study

Cerebral oxygenation and echocardiographic parameters in preterm neonates with a patent ductus arteriosus: an observational study

BackgroundA haemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) is clinically suspected and confirmed by echocardiographic examination. A hsPDA decreases cerebral blood flow and oxygen saturation by the ductal steal phenomenon.AimTo determine the relationship between echocardiographic para...
