title: [The determination of heart minute volumes and systolic time intervals using echo- and Doppler echocardiography in severely ill premature infants].
abstract: The here represented echo- and doppler-echocardiographic measurements of critically ill preterm infants demonstrate the possibility to watch closely to hemodynamic changes due to new treatments of these patients, thus to gather more information than with the usual monitoring of a neonatal intensive care unit. Using systolic time intervals and cardiac output, measured in the ascending aorta and the pulmonary truncus by echo- and doppler echocardiography, gives more ease and accuracy in actual therapeutic decisions. This is demonstrated with the use of dopamine, prostaglandin E1 and indomethacin.
