Cardiovascular Support for Low Birth Weight Infants and Cerebral Hemodynamics: A Randomized, Blinded, Clinical Trial

Abstract

Among hypotensive LBW infants, cardiovascular support with low/moderate-dose DP or low-dose EP increased cerebral perfusion, as indicated by the increase in both CBV and HbD. Low-dose EP was as effective as low/moderate-dose DP in increasing MBP among LBW infants.
