The perfusion index derived from a pulse oximeter for predicting low superior vena cava flow in very low birth weight infants
OBJECTIVE: Superior vena cava (SVC) flow is used as an index for evaluating systemic blood flow in neonates. Thus far, several reports have shown that low SVC flow is a risk factor for intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in the preterm infant. Therefore, it is likely to be a useful index in the manage...
