What is Known: • Noradrenaline is beneficial in the treatment of term newborns and infants with cardiovascular compromise. • Noradrenaline is known for its potent vasoconstrictive effects and, therefore, infrequently used in preterm infants. What is New: • Noradrenaline used in relative low dose and as first or second line support increases blood pressure in preterm infants with cardiovascular compromise. • Tachycardia was common, but no additional side effects were found.
