Hypotension and Shock. Optimising treatments
A new single centre RCT of permissive hypotension (PH) compared to "standard treatment" (ST) of very preterm infants 24 to <30 weeks GA, with a mean BP lower than their GA has just appeared (Alderliesten T, et al. Treatment of Hypotension of Prematurity: a randomised trial. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2025). In the intervention, PH, group, infants only received treatment if they developed signs of poor perfusion. In the ST group they immediately received a fluid bolus and a dopamine infusion, followed by adding dobutamine, then epinephrine, hydrocortisone was given if the baby needed more than just dopamine.
