What infants could be injured by mechanical ventilation?

What is the location and the purpose of the ductus arteriosis?
The ductus arteriosus is a blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta in a developing fetus. Its purpose is to bypass the lungs, as they are not yet functional in the womb, and allow oxygenated blood to flow directly to the body. After birth, the ductus arteriosus usually closes within the first few days as the lungs take over oxygenation.
Why does the ductus arteriosis close off after birth?
The ductus arteriosus closes off after birth due to the increase in oxygen levels in the blood, which causes the smooth muscle in the ductus arteriosus to contract and constrict the vessel. This closure is essential to redirect blood flow away from the lungs, which are now functional after birth, and help establish the pulmonary circulation.

Ductus venosus: It bypasses the developing liver by allowing oxygen-rich blood from the umbilical vein to flow directly into the inferior vena cava.
