Neurocardiovascular coupling in congenital diaphragmatic hernia patients undergoing different types of surgical treatment.
The effect of peri-operative management on the neonatal brain is largely unknown. Triggers for perioperative brain injury might be revealed by studying changes in neonatal physiology peri-operatively. ⋯ Neurocardiovascular graphs provided more insight into the effect of the peri-operative management on the pathophysiology of neonates undergoing surgery. The neonate's clinical condition as well as the surgical and the anaesthesiological approach affected the neonatal physiology and CBF regulation mechanisms at different levels.
