Hypothermia and Cardiovascular Instability

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Severely asphyxiated neonates have acute heart failure as part of their multiorgan dysfunction syndrome during the first days of life. Supporting the cardiovascular system during this phase is part of contemporary treatment and regarded as vital for limiting the neurodevelopmental injury. The decision to treat cardiovascular instability should be based on evaluation of end-organ function. Neonatologist-performed echocardiography in combination with other diagnostic modalities enables comprehensive real-time assessment. This review discusses associations between hemodynamics and adverse outcome, modalities for evaluating the hemodynamic state of the infant, and therapeutic approaches during intensive care.
