Optimal management approach for patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants

Fazal-e-Rabi Subhani

Introduction: Hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants is known to be associated with greater mortality and substantial morbidity in the form of pulmonary oedema/haemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and potential end-organ ischaemic injury. Considerable practice variability exists regarding different PDA management approaches from supportive care alone to pharmacological closure to surgical ligation.
Method: A comprehensive search of PubMed & EMBASE from their inceptions to October 2019 was made using 3 search items: patent ductus arteriosus, preterm infants, & management approaches. The search items were combined using the Boolean operator. A further search was made of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, & ClinicalTrials.gov with no language restriction.
Results: Literature review suggests that the most appropriate management approach is a step-wise strategy beginning with supportive care provided to all preterm infants including a neutral thermal environment, moderate fluid restriction (110-130 mL/kg/day) & adequate respiratory support (target SpO2 90-95%, PaCO2 55-65 mmHg, pH 7.3-7.4, & haematocrit above 35%).
Conclusion: Head-to-head comparison of different drugs used to attempt pharmacological closure of PDA (indomethacin, ibuprofen, & paracetamol) is particularly tricky due to variations of criteria used to define hemodynamically significant PDA and multiple treatment protocols used with variations in dosing & route of administration (enteral vs IV bolus vs IV continuous) across different studies. Because surgical ligation has become increasingly uncommon & published data is observational, it remains uncertain whether infants who fail pharmacological closure are more severely compromised to begin.
