Eligibility:

All Genders

Brief Summary

To evaluate whether utilizing a standardized patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) treatment algorithm in managing ELBW (extremely low birth weight) neonates ≤1000 grams (g) improves clinical outcomes and he...

Detailed Description

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • All patients admitted to the BUMCP and CCMC NICUs with a birth weight ≤1000g and an echocardiogram-confirmed PDA, regardless of GA.

Exclusion

  • Patients who have serious comorbidities that are not directly related to their symptomatic PDA will be excluded (chromosomal abnormalities, serious kidney pathology, other hemodynamically significant heart defects, or serious comorbidities at the researcher's discretion). This will allow the researchers to better determine the efficacy of the treatment algorithm, without the results being confounded by unusual comorbidities.
