First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tested whether giving paracetamol (a common painkiller) through an IV can prevent a heart opening called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in very premature babies. About 40 infants born before 30 weeks or weighing less than 1250 grams were randomly given either paracetamol or the standard drug indomethacin. The goal was to see which drug works better at closing the opening, with follow-up including heart scans and blood tests.
