Infantile arterial hypertension: A diagnostic challenge in paediatrics
2021, Anales de PediatriaIntervention and Outcome for Neonatal Hypotension
2020, Clinics in PerinatologyCitation Excerpt :The question of what is a normal BP for a particular infant is therefore complex and cannot be answered with a single number for each gestational age or birth weight.3 Epidemiologic studies of BP in large groups of infants have demonstrated the postnatal changes in BP, and although they can produce percentiles of typical values, they cannot answer the question of what is an appropriate, or safe, BP for an individual.4–7 Many studies have shown that infants with BPs that are in the lower range for their gestational age tend to have increased complications (as reviewed later), but of course correlation does not prove causation, nor does it create an indication for treatment.
Clinical Trials in Hemodynamic Support: Past, Present, and Future
2020, Clinics in PerinatologyCitation Excerpt :Currently, little attention is placed on systolic and diastolic arterial pressures when characterizing circulatory stability or selecting a cardiovascular intervention. Normative population-based data for systolic arterial pressures are available.49,50 Systolic arterial pressure is a useful surrogate of the adequacy of contractile force and CO; it also reflects adequate filling and preload.
Corticosteroids for Neonatal Hypotension
2020, Clinics in PerinatologyCitation Excerpt :In the absence of accurate and practical tools to assess blood flow and vascular resistance, clinicians have relied on blood pressure (BP) values as a marker of adequate cardiovascular function for decades.1 Both invasive and noninvasive BP measurements can be easily accomplished in infants with acceptable precision, and population-based normal values are available.2–5 Little is known about the lower thresholds of BP below which organ blood flow or function is impaired or organ damage occurs in preterm infants, especially during early postnatal transition.
