Ramos, Rita Espiritu-Dorendo3 aHourly blood pressure measurements for the first 6 hours of life were taken in a total of 367 neonates. The indirect or oscillometric technique using the Siemens monitor was used.

The study population was divided into Group A and B. The Group A (n=329) comprised of healthy neonates and Group B (n=38) of abnormal neonates with varied diseases such as sepsis, bronchopneumonia, born of mothers with hypertension or preeclampsia, HMD with or without need of a mechanical ventilation, low Apgar score and congenital anomaly. Data were subjected to one way ANOVA.

The average systolic and diastolic and mean BP of Group A were tabulated according to birth weights. A positive correlation was obtained (P0.05).

Mean systolic and diastolic BP values of Group B did not significantly show different values.  aMakati Medical Center Proceedings, 1999 (13) pages71-76 2aBlood Pressure 2aInfant, Newborn1 aRamos, Gina Eliza M. 1 aEspiritu-Dorendo, Rita   cJA  c4737d4737  00102nlm4070aDOHCLbDOHCLcElectronicResd2021-05-19l0oJ000660pD0001J000660r2021-05-19 00:00:00w2021-05-19yJA
