[Early closure of ductus arteriosus with indomethacin].
The open ductus arteriosus was closed with indomethacin on the first days of life in 13 out of 27 preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The early medical closure of the ductus arteriosus shortened the duration of the ventilatory assistance and need of additional oxygen in these infants.
