Abstract
Cerebral vasoreactivity to CO2, calculated by linear regression of total ce rebral hemoglobin, measured by near infrared spectroscopy, and correspondin g PaCO2, in infants <32 weeks' gestation, was found to be unaffected by the administration of ibuprofen, which was given on the first postnatal day as prophylaxis against patent ductus arteriosus.
