Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Arterial hypotension in the first 72 hours of age is observed in 20-40% in sick preterm newborns with a birth weight < 1500g. The two main causes are hypovolemia and cardiac dysfunction. Conventional therapy includes IV administration of iso-oncotic albumin, although in half of the patients this is not effective and inotropes. The objective of this study was to investigate if dopamine is better than dobutamine in the treatment of hypotension in newborns <1500g.
