The role of systemic hemodynamic disturbances in prematurity-related brain injury

Adré J du Plessis. J Child Neurol. 2009 Sep.

Abstract

Premature infants who experience cerebrovascular injury frequently have acute and long-term neurologic complications. In this article, we explore the relationship between systemic hemodynamic insults and brain injury in this patient population and the mechanisms that might be at play.
