1412 INDIRECT DETERMINATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE (BP) IN NEONATES

Comparison of Blood Pressure in Mature and Premature Neonates Using Direct and Indirect Methods of Measurement

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correspondence of blood pressure (BP) measured using the direct intra-arterial method and indirect oscillometric monitor method. Twenty-three newborns with radial arterial catheters inserted were enrolled in this study. The gestational age (GA) ranged from 25-40 weeks and birth weight (BW) ranged from 700-3,550 g. Direct BP was measured using radial art...

Comparison of direct and indirect blood pressure in patients under esophagectomy surgery: a prospective observational study

Background: Arterial pressure is one of the most important physiological variables and often needs to be monitored repeatedly or continuously in perioperative period. Arterial pressure monitoring is one of the standard monitoring in operating room. During general anesthesia, blood pressure can be measured by using a noninvasive arterial pressure method or continuous invasive arterial pressure b...

Cord blood &#945 -fetoprotein as a predictive index for indirect hyperbilirubinemia in term neonates

Background: Prediction of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is very important for early treatment and prophylaxis of neurologic sequels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive role of umbilical cord ^5-fetoprotein (UCAFP) as a marker of an increased risk for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in full term babies. Methods: Umbilical cord blood was collected from 400 term singleton full t...

Diurnal variations in blood pressure: importance of ambulatory BP monitoring.

Fig. 1 : (a) Showing normal diurnal pattern in a normal person. Night time is shown as dark on time scale. SBP as well as DBP dip at night. (b) Showing inadequate nocturnal dip in a person with normal day time BP. (c) Showing nocturnal hypertension in a person with only transient episodes of hypertension during day. Fig. 2 : (a) Showing normal day time BP with over dipping at night. SBP falling...
