June 24, 20178 yr Good morning everyone, On occasion we have taken note of the Pro BNP level in an infant with an hHsPDA who may or may not warrant Ibuprofen. Does anyone use BNP as a guide to the treatment or current state of the PDA as a point of care? Any thoughts on the role of BNP greatly appreciated. Kind regards Al
June 25, 20178 yr We do not use it and rely on echo (and clinical scenario). but I found this systematic review - hope that helps http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2015/01/13/peds.2014-1995 looking fw to hear others experience!
February 24, 20188 yr Almost 1 year, and still nothing new about DAP HS. Specially in < 28 sem gestacional. I don´t Know who, how and when to treat a DAP. I can´t belive it¡¡
February 25, 20188 yr One of the more interesting trials to wait for is Baby OSCAR (UK study): https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/baby-oscar/information-for-hospitals
