| Popis: | The SFR (Sp02/Fi02 ratio) offers a continuous, non-invasive reflection of pulmonary function regardless of whether the baby is ventilated or breathing spontaneously. We hypothesized that significant PDA shunting would impair pulmonary oxygen diffusion, in turn, reflected by decreased SFR; and that early PDA related decreases in SFR will predict subsequent chronic lung disease (CLD). Methods: We retrospectively examined records from preterm neonates |
