Randomized trial of dobutamine versus dopamine in preterm infants with low systemic blood flow

Objective: Our purpose was to determine if dobutamine or dopamine results in greater improvements in systemic blood flow in very preterm infants with low flow during the first 24 hours of life. Study design: A 2-center, randomized, double-blind study. Infants (n = 42) with low superior vena cava (SV...
