Abstract:Objectives
We hypothesized that caffeine would be associated with a transient reduction in the right-to-left shunt and VA/Q. We aimed to explore the temporal effects of caffeine on right-to-left shunt, ventilation perfusion ratio (VA/Q) and shift of the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) in premature ventilated infants.
Methods
Retrospective cohort study at a tertiary neonatal unit of infants born at less than 31 weeks o… Show more
