Abstract

The original version of this article contained an error in the legend of Fig. 3, which incorrectly read: Figure 3. a The patterns of arterial saturation (SaO 2; orange), and rScO 2 (blue) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP; red) of an extremely preterm infant on postnatal day 1. The initial rScO 2 values were very low (red box). These low values seemed to be associated with PaCO2 values below 30 mmHg (brown squares; starting at 24 mmHg. SaO 2 and MABPs values were always normal. When PaCO 2 values increased above values of 30 mmHg (brown arrow) the rScO 2 increased and eventually normalized. b The patterns of rScO 2 (blue) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP; red) of a very preterm girl, starting on postnatal day 1, was especially marked by a steep decrease in cerebral oxygenation (rScO 2; red box) to very low values (<40%). Echocardiographic investigation early on postnatal day 2 revealed a hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus. Subsequent ductal closure with indomethacin (2 courses) was followed by normalization of cerebral oxygenation. c The patterns of heart rate (HR), arterial saturation (SaO 2) and rScO 2 (red box) in a preterm neonate.with severe anemia. The rather low rScO 2 recovered following packed red blood cell transfusion (courtesy Prof. Gunnar Naulaers, UZ Leuven). This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the article.
