Cardiocirculatory effects of patent ductus arteriosus in extremely low‐birth‐weight infants with respiratory distress syndrome

Background : Cardiocirculatory effects of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) have not been systematically studied in extremely low‐birth‐weight (ELBW) infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of hsPDA on the left ventricular output (LVO) and organ blood flows in ELBW infants with RDS.
