Pulmonary Peak Flow Assessment: An Easy Tool for Cardiac Output Estimation in Hemodynamically Stable Neonates
Our findings support the use of PPF as a surrogate for RVO for cardiac output estimation in term and preterm neonates. Because of its simplicity, rapidity, and low intraobserver variability, PPF could be a useful tool for SBF assessment. Future studies should be performed to evaluate the correlation between PPF and other echocardiographic markers of low SBF.
