Commentary on Cerebral Intravascular Oxygenation Correlates With Mean Arterial Pressure in Critically Ill Premature Infants

The first 20% of the full text of this article appears below.

Since the original work of Wigglesworth and Pape¹ and Perlman et al,² fluctuations in cerebral perfusion have been recognized as a major causal factor in the pathogenesis of germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) in the very preterm infant. Lou and colleagues,³ in their pioneering studies using the ¹³³Xenon clearance technique, first suggested that some critically ill infants might have a pressure-passive cerebral circulation, thus allowing abrupt changes in arterial blood pressure to be transmitted directly to the brain microvasculature. . . .
