Abstract

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the effectiveness and safety of fluid restriction for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants. To determine if fluid restriction (parenterally, enterally, or both) with or without diuretics reduces morbidity and mortality in preterm infants with a symptomatic PDA.
