Changes in cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics during cranial ultrasound in preterm infants

Objectives: To evaluate whether application of a transducer on the anterior fontanelle during cranial ultrasound (US) examination effects cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation in preterm infants. Study design*: During cranial US examination, changes …

Cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation after serial CSF drainage in infants with PHVD

The aim of our study was to assess consecutive changes in cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics after serial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage from a subcutaneous ventricular catheter reservoir (SVCR) in infants with PHVD. Infants with PHVD were …

Effects of midazolam and morphine on cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics in ventilated premature infants

Background: Midazolam sedation and morphine analgesia are commonly used in ventilated premature infants. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of midazolam versus morphine infusion on cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics in ventilated premature …

Effects of rapid versus slow infusion of sodium bicarbonate on cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation in preterm infants

Background: Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is often used for correction of metabolic acidosis in preterm infants. The effects of NaHCO 3 administration on cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation are not well known. Furthermore, there is no consensus on …
