Change Details: The original version of this article contained an error in the legend of Fig. 3, which incorrectly read:Figure 3. <b>a</b> The patterns of arterial saturation (SaO<sub>2</sub>; orange), and rScO<sub>2</sub> (blue) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP; red) of an extremely preterm infant on postnatal day 1. The initial rScO<sub>2</sub> values were very low (red box). These low values seemed to be associated with PaCO2 values below 30 mmHg (brown squares; starting at 24 mmHg. SaO<sub>2</sub> and MABPs values were always normal. When PaCO<sub>2</sub> values increased above values of 30 mmHg (brown arrow) the rScO<sub>2</sub> increased and eventually normalized. <b>b</b> The patterns of rScO<sub>2</sub> (blue) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP; red) of a very preterm girl, starting on postnatal day 1, was especially marked by a steep decrease in cerebral oxygenation (rScO<sub>2</sub>; red box) to very low values (<40%). Echocardiographic investigation early on postnatal day 2 revealed a hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus. Subsequent ductal closure with indomethacin (2 courses) was followed by normalization of cerebral oxygenation. <b>c</b> The patterns of heart rate (HR), arterial saturation (SaO<sub>2</sub>) and rScO<sub>2</sub> (red box) in a preterm neonate.with severe anemia. The rather low rScO<sub>2</sub> recovered following packed red blood cell transfusion (courtesy Prof. Gunnar Naulaers, UZ Leuven).This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the article.
