OXYHEMOGLOBIN AFFINITY MODULATES CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW (CBF) IN PREMATURE BABIES

Low CBF is thought to cause periventricular leukomalacia in premature babies, but a normal outcome has also been observed. Low CBF found after exchange transfusion in lambs was explained by the lower oxygen af...

FACTORS INFLUENCING CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW (CBF) IN PREMATURE BABIES DURING THE FIRST WEEK AFTER BIRTH

In order to evaluate the role of CBF in the pathogenesis of periventricular haemorrhage and leukomalacia, we measured CBF with the non-invasive Xenon-133 clearance method. Intravenous application of Xenon and ...
