Abstract
Superior vena cava is commonly used in neonatal hemodynamics and is suggested to be the best available non-invasive marker for systemic circulation in preterm infants. Inter- and intra-observer variability remain to be an issue. Its association with neonatal outcomes is has not been established. This is a narrative review about this marker, its use, and its potential pitfalls.
Objective
This is a narrative review about SVC flow in preterm infants, physiology, techniques of measurement and its potential association with outcomes.
Sources
Literature revie mainly PubMED.
Summary of the findings
SVC flow measurement has some limitations and pitfalls.
Conclusions
SVC flow association with neonatal outcomes, still needs to be established in further research.
