- 4. You will still be confused after this lecture
- 5. • What? • Why? • How?
- 7. Left-right-shunt through PDA leads to: • Hyperperfusion of the lung circulation • Hypoperfusion of the systemic circulation (brain, guts, kidneys etc) • Risk of heart failure (increased volume load on left side)

- 9. PDA – how is it defined? van Overmeire. New Engl J Med 2000;343:674 • diastolic flow easily detectable… main pulmonary artery • diastolic backflow in the aorta immediately beneath the ductus • LA-to-Ao-ratio >1.6 Richards. Pediatrics 2009;124:e287 • left to right ductal shunting • increased LA-to-Ao-ratio • failure to wean from mechanical ventilation Gudmundsdottir. Neonatology 2015:107:87 • PDA defined as the ICD code for PDA Aikio. J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2014;27:1252-6 • left-atrium-to-aorta ratio >1.3 • tachycardia • high systolic – diastolic BP difference • persistent respiratory distress

- 11. How to assess the PDA in the NICU?
- 12. • What? • Why? • How?
- 13. Closing the PDA is easy… … but what’s the point?
- 14. ”PDA increase the risk of…” • mechanical ventilation • pulmonary haemorrhage • NEC • IVH / PVL • ROP • BPD Are these associations true? • Conflicting results… • Treatment does not seem to reduce risks…
- 15. Causality or co-occurence? PDA BPD Preterm birth PDA BPD
- 16. Prophylactic Tx closes the duct but… 999 ELBW infants 49% had PDA after placebo21% had PDA after indo Schmidt. J Pediatr 2006;148:730 41% developed BPD45% developed BPD
- 17. Timing of medical closure and BPD risk Medical treatment (postnatal age) BPD (36 wks) 0-2 days 1.00 (ref) 3-6 days 0.83 (0.42-1.64) ≥7 days 0.28 (0.13-0.61) Background and results: • is long PDA shunt duration negative? • is later medical closure associated with higher BPD risk? Finding and interpretation: • timing of PDA treatment did not influence BPD risk Gudmundsdottir. Neonatology 2015;107:87-92

- 20. Most interesting question – is ”treatment” always needed?
- 21. BeNeDuctus trial is recruiting! Primary (composite) outcome: • death, NEC, BPD Secondary outcomes • hypotension (inotropes) • duration of breathing support • brain lesions (IVH/PVL) • long-term development Hundscheid. BMC Pediatr. 2018 Aug 4;18(1):262
- 22. BabyOSCAR trial is recruiting! • 730 infants at 23-28 weeks (now 413 recruited) • Significant PDA within 72h: oibuprofen oplacebo • Primary (composite) outcome is death/BPD 36w • Secondary outcomes: oNEC, IVH, PVL, ROP, pulmonary bleeds orescue PDA tx; PDA surgery olength of respiratory support https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/baby-oscar
- 23. Are you still confused?
- 24. Conclusions • There is no universal PDA definition but… use echocardiography to set your diagnosis • You can always close the PDA but… noone knows exactly why you should • ”More research is needed”
