This difference is thought to relate to the discrepant effects of each medication on cerebral oxygen kinetics yet the effect of ibuprofen on cerebral perfusion is uncertain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Forty-eight babies &amp;lt; 30 weeks with a significant PDA, defined by echocardiography, were randomly assigned to either indomethacin or ibuprofen (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 24 per group) and stratified by gestation and chronologic age. Cerebral blood flow [total internal carotid blood flow (TICF)] and oxygen physiology [oxygen delivery (modCerbDO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) and consumption (modCerbVO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>)] were measured using cranial Doppler ultrasound and near-infrared spectroscopy, and cerebral oxygen extraction (cFTOE) calculated, immediately before and following administration. Temporal and treatment related changes were analysed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A fixed effect of time was seen for TICF (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03) and therefore modCerbDO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.046) and cFTOE (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.04) for indomethacin alone. In the indomethacin group, TICF and modCerbDO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> fell from baseline to 5 and 30 min respectively (TICF <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01, cDO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub><jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.01) before increasing from 5 min to 24 h (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01) and 30 min and 24 h (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01) timepoints. cFTOE peaked at 30 min (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.02) returning to baseline at 24 h. There was a parallel increase in arterial lactate.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Indomethacin significantly reduces cerebral blood flow soon after administration, resulting in a parallel increase in oxygen extraction and arterial lactate. This implies that the balance of oxygen kinetics at the time of treatment may be critical in very preterm babies with significant
