Background: Neonatal sepsis is considered a major neonatal issue and associated with a high rate of mortality in newborns. Because there is a lack of studies concerning early hemodynamic changes of cerebral circulation in neonatal sepsis, so our research aims to assess the cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes in newborns with early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) and to clarify the role of cranial Doppler Ultrasound in EONS diagnosis. Objective: To evaluate cerebral hemodynamic changes using transcranial Doppler in newborns with EONS. Methods: This cross-sectional study with 50 neonates involved in the study. The neonates were classified into 2 groups: Case Group …
