A new method of quantifying cerebral blood flow which allows repeated cotside measurements is described. 31 observations were made on nine ill, mostly very preterm, infants. Cerebral blood flow was usually about 18 ml.100 g-1.min-1, but ranged from 7 ml.100g-1.min-1 (after the administration of indomethacin to a very preterm infant) to 33 ml.100 g-1.min-1 in a birth-asphyxiated post-term infant.

D006819 Hyaline Membrane Disease A respiratory distress syndrome in newborn infants, usually premature infants with insufficient PULMONARY SURFACTANTS. The disease is characterized by the formation of a HYALINE-like membrane lining the terminal respiratory airspaces (PULMONARY ALVEOLI) and subsequent collapse of the lung (PULMONARY ATELECTASIS).
