Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Premature Infants
AUTOR(ES)
Ghosh, P.K.
RESUMO
An analysis of the course and complications in the ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in 30 very low birth-weight preterm neonates was carried out. The mean gestational stage at birth was 26.97 weeks, and median weight was 811 gm. Attempted closures of the ductus with indomethacin in 19 infants failed, although there was temporary closure in nine. Congestive heart failure was present in 29 and respiratory distress syndrome in 22 patients. Endotracheal intubation with ventilation assistance was necessary in the entire series.
