Ibuprofen and cerebral oxygenation and circulation

Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2005 Jan;90(1):F75-6. doi: 10.1136/adc.2004.058347.

Abstract

The effect of prophylactic administration of ibuprofen on the cerebral circulation in preterm babies was measured with near infrared spectroscopy. No significant difference in the change in cerebral blood volume, change in cerebral blood flow, or tissue oxygenation index was found between administration of ibuprofen or placebo.
