Abstract

              Objective: To assess the outcome of the treatment for maintaining ductal patency. Subject and method: A cross sectional study was conducted to analyze 60 patients with duct dependent lesion. Result: Patients who had to hospitalize within one day old were 36.66%. 15% of participants were indicated to stop oxygen supply. 61.7% of children needed PGE1 on the first day of life. A total 60% of the participants required PGE1 with high doses. The blood gas saw a significant improvement after treatment. Conclusion: Prevention of oxygen use and early indications of PGE1 were effective in maintenance of ductal patency.
