COUTO, Catarina  and  PROENCA, Elisa. Management of low systemic blood flow in extremely preterm infants. Nascer e Crescer [online]. 2024, vol.33, n.1, pp.29-39.  Epub Mar 30, 2024. ISSN 0872-0754.  https://doi.org/10.25753/birthgrowthmj.v33.i1.28239.

Extremely preterm infants are at significant risk for low systemic blood flow and inadequate organ perfusion. A comprehensive evaluation of clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic, and end-organ perfusion markers allows for a pathophysiology-based and individualized approach to low blood flow states. The aim of this article was to review the diagnosis and management of low systemic blood flow in extremely preterm infants.

Keywords : extremely preterm infant; hypotension; inotrope; perfusion; systemic blood flow.
