Cerebral oxygenation is highly sensitive to blood pressure variability in sick preterm infants.

OBJECTIVES: The significance of blood pressure variability (BPV) for cerebral oxygenation in extremely preterm infants has not been explored, though BPV may well be associated with end organ injury. We hypothesized that increased BPV in sick preterm infants, by exceeding the cerebral autoregulatory...
