About This Trial
The diagnostic hypothesis is based on the evidence that, while the functional closure of the PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) occurs within a few hours after birth, anatomical closure may take several weeks. The functional closure of the PDA can be extremely sensitive to variations in blood oxygen tension and the hemodynamic instability of preterm infants. Therefore, echocardiographic evaluation and…
