Daily Question
|
What is the danger in giving a patient with patent ductus arteriosus a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID)?
|
|
Answer
|
|
These agents can be beneficial by closing the patent ductus, especially in premature infants. However, some patients will have additional cardiac malformations. In these cases, the patient may be dependent on a patent ductus arteriosus for pulmonary blood flow, and closure can lead to hypoxemia due to reduced pulmonary blood flow.
