Wide Pulse Pressure Is Not Associated with Patent Ductus Arteriosus in the First Week of Life.

abstract：:Extremely preterm infants often develop chronic lung disease (CLD) characterized by heterogeneous aeration; poorly supported, floppy airways; and air trapping. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) with high end-expiratory pressure (optimal lung volume strategy [OLVS]) may improve airway patency, lead to better gas di...
