Abstract

Background: The increasing knowledge of neonatal hemodynamics and the resultant increased understanding concerning the changing physiology of the neonate's cardiovascular system has been driven primarily by neonatologists, Aim and objectives: To assess the relationship between SVC flow and velocity with adverse outcome in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Subjects and methods: This is prospective, case control study where the patients were recruited from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Al-Azhar university hospitals. 2021. The study included two groups of newly born infants: The case group: is composed of 40 very low birth weight infants. The control group is composed of 20 normal birth weight infants, Result; there was significant relation between SVC flow in day 1,7,14 and on discharge and occurrence of interventricular hemorrhage but as regard SVC velocity there was significant relation only in day 1, 7. Conclusion: SVC flow is important for assessment of hemodynamic status in low-birth-weight neonates.
