Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Correlation of clinical signs with echocardiographic findings for the decision of PDA treatment can be appropriate to prevent unnecessary medical treatments. AIMS and OBJECTIVES: Primary – To study the clinical characteristics of hemodynamically stable PDA Secondary – To correlate the clinical parameters with echocardiographic Hs PDA, need of medical management, requirement of surgery and closure. RESULTS: 66.7% babies in moderate group presented with bounding pulse than with mild and severe group, 71% in severe PDA had increased pulse pressure, 75% in severe had murmur, 71% in severe had increased HR, 100% in severe had increased RR. CONCLUSION: Clinical features are correlated well with echocardiographically significant PDA. Presence of multiple clinical features predict severity of PDA Correlation of clinical signs with echo findings for the PDA treatment can be appropriate to prevent unnecessary medical treatments.
