Echocardiographic flow pattern of patent ductus arteriosus: a guide to indomethacin treatment in premature infants.
AIM To compare the efficacy and safety of an indomethacin treatment strategy based on serial echocardiographic measurement of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) flow pattern with a standard protocol. METHODS Neonates weighing less than 1500 g at birth, who required respiratory support, and who had developed symptomatic PDA, were studied. PDA was confirmed in all infants using colour Doppler echoc...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of patent ductus arteriosus shunt flow pattern in premature infants.
AIMS To identify the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) shunt flow pattern using Doppler echocardiography; and to assess whether it could be used to predict the development of clinically significant PDA. METHODS Premature infants weighing under 1500 g, who required mechanical ventilation, and in whom daily echocardiography could be performed from day 1 until the ductus closed, and on day 7 to con...

stable or partial response, suggesting that, in addition to causing sclerosis of bone, APD may have an antitumour effect. Factors released from tumours stimulate osteoblastic activity3 and osteolysis mediated by osteoclasts.4 APD is a potent inhibitor of osteoclast function, and such inhibition combined with the osteoblastic factors produced by tumour cells may explain the bony sclerosis seen i...

متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Infants
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is part of the typical morbidity profile of the preterm infant, with a high incidence of 80-90% in extremely low birth weight infants born before 26 weeks of gestation. Whereas spontaneous closure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) is likely in term infants, it is less so in preterm ones. PDA is associated with increased mortality and various comorbidities including ca...
