متن کاملSuperior mesenteric artery blood flow velocity in necrotising enterocolitis.
Doppler measurements of blood flow velocity were obtained from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), coeliac axis, and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) of 19 infants with suspected necrotising enterocolitis, which was classified as confirmed (n = 9) or unconfirmed (n = 8). Infants with confirmed disease were compared with controls who were either enterally fed or who were receiving intravenous fl...
