Description
Summary:The measurement of blood pressure in the very low birth weight newborn infant is not simple and may be erroneous because of numerous factors. Assessment of cardiovascular insufficiency in this population should be based on multiple parameters and not only on numeric blood pressure readings. The decision to treat cardiovascular insufficiency should be made after considering the potential complications of such treatment. There are numerous potential strategies to avoid or mitigate hypoperfusion states in the very low birth weight infant.
