Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is an observational trial of cerebral oxygen kinetic and haemodynamic responses in newborn infants <30 weeks gestation following administration of indomethacin or ibuprofen for haemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus.
Treatment of a patent ductus arteriosus is a clinical decision prior to study inclusion. Once enrolled in the study newborns will receivin either ibuprofen (20mg/kg) or Indometacin (0.2mg/kg).
Babies enrolled in the trial will have a number or observations and measurements.
1.regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation - data to be collected continuously from baseline up to 6 hours after medication infusion. Additional data will be captured for 30 miutes between 20 and 26 hours after medication administration.
2. Internal Carotid blood flow - measured by serial pulsed-wave Doppler ultrasound before, 5, 30 mins, 4-6 hours and 20-26 hours after medication administration.
3. Arterial blood gas - taken before, 5, 30 min, 4-6 hours and 20-26 hours after medication administration.
These measures will be used to calculate cerebral oxygen kinetic variables including delivery and consumption.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 306363 0
i. Comparison of cerebral oxygen kinetics using either indomethacin or ibuprofen with direct comparison at each time point
Cerebral oxygen kinetics will be assessed using the following measures:
1: Near-infrared spectroscopy derived regional tissue oxygen saturation (rS02)
3: Co-oximetry derived arterial oxygen saturation (Sa02)
2: ultrasound derived internal carotid blood flow
3: Arterial blood gas measures - Haemoglobin, Pa02
From this, cerebral oxygen delivery, consumption and extraction will be calculated.
This is a composite primary outcome
