Sixty very low birth weight infants (birth weight 560-1450 g) were studied during the first 28 days of life. The infants were classified as group A (n = 19 infants who never required ventilator support), group B (n = 20 infants mechanically ventilated for minor respiratory problems), and group C (n
First results are described of individually tailored indomethacin dose rates employing on-line drug level monitoring for pharmacologically induced ductal constriction in very low birth weight infants with symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (sPDA). In addition prolonged indomethacin therapy was int
Indomethacin has proven effective in closing the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in most low birth weight (LBW) neonates with this disorder. Early reopening of the ductus is a problem and often leads to the need for surgery. Prolonged use of indomethacin for several days has been suggested as a means
