The effect of caffeine loading on cerebral autoregulation in preterm infants

ConclusionWe observed a reduced correlation between MAP and TOI from near ‐infrared spectroscopy following caffeine administration. These findings suggest an acute enhanced capacity for cerebral autoregulation following a loading dose of caffeine in preterm infants, contributing to our understanding of the physiological impact of caffeine therapy.This article is protected by copyright.
