DOIAbstract
The transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life represents a critical phase of physiological adaptation after preterm birth. The aim of this research was to explore cardiovascular and cerebrovascular physiology in preterm infants during postnatal transition using a continuous, non-invasive comprehensive monitoring system. Transitional haemodynamics were explored in preterm infants <32 weeks’ gestation or with a birth weight <1500g using a non-invasive integrated multiparametric monitoring, which included electrical velocimetry, near-infrared spectroscopy, pulse oximetry and serial echocardiographic assessments. Sixty-four preterm infants with a mean gestational age of 29.6 weeks were included. A progressive improvement in overall ...
