Welcome to PDA.se!
ductus-vit-bakgrund_02
This web site collects and presents information about the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a common hemodynamic problem in pre-term infants.

The objectives are
* to increase the awareness of PDA-related issues
* to facilitate the search for clinically relevant information
* to stimulate the learning of echocardiography

This web site is intended for health professionals, i.e. doctors and nurses working in neonatal intensive care units.
However, the section "For parents" is intended for parents, including information about the open duct, written specifically for parents to preterm infants. "For parents" is available in 12 languages and more translations will be added as they are finished.
