Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral paracetamol or ibuprofen has a better or same efficacy and tolerance in closure of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
Detailed Description:
To determine whether oral paracetamol or ibuprofen has a better or same efficacy and tolerance in closure of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
Eighty preterm infants with patent ductus arteriosus will be enrolled in this prospective-randomized study. Patients will receive oral ibuprofen at an initial dose of 10 mg/kg, followed by 5 mg/kg at 24 and 48 h or oral paracetamol 15 mg/kg per dose every 6 hours.
One of the following echocardiographic criteria of a duct size \>1.5 mm, a left atrium-to-aorta ratio \>1.5, left-to-right shunting of blood, end diastolic reversal of blood flow in the aorta, or poor cardiac function in addition signs of patent ductus arteriosis determined the need of treatment.
