Management approach of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants at the Brigham and Women's Hospital
Algorithmic management approach of the neonatal division at the Brigham and Women's Hospital of patent ductus arteriosus for preterm infants (gestational age <29 weeks) based on clinical and echocardiographic scoring systems.
PDA: patent ductus arteriosus;
NICU: neonatal intensive care unit;
CS: clinical score;
ECHO: echocardiogram;
ES: echocardiographic score;
NEC: necrotizing enterocolitis;
IVH: intraventricular hemorrhage;
CPAP: continuous positive airway pressure;
FiO2: fraction of inspired oxygen;
MAP: mean arterial pressure;
HFOV: high frequency oscillatory ventilation;
UOP: urinary output; Cr: creatinine;
BE: base excess;
HCO3–: bicarbonate;
BSA: body surface area;
Ao-PDA: aortic patent ductus arteriosus;
LA: left atrium;
LV: left ventricle;
PFO: patent foramen ovale. * Widened pulse pressure defined as diastolic blood pressure less than half of systolic blood pressure.
