Research in hemodynamics and cardiac function evaluation of preterm infants / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Cardiac dysfunction in preterm infants is a common acute and critical illness,associated with higher mortality,and can cause severe short-term and long-term sequelae. Therefore,understanding the main fea-ture of hemodynamics in premature neonates,and the accurate and appropriate clinical monitoring methods are essential to assess cardiac function in early time. This review summarizes the main hemodynamic problem and cardiac function assessment methods in preterm neonates.
