What are the sex- and age-specific reference ranges for noninvasive blood pressure in children during anesthesia?
This study provides the first sex- and age-specific reference ranges for noninvasive blood pressure in children during anesthesia, enabling rapid screening of blood pressure changes in daily care.
Graaff et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Anesthesia and surgery (n=116,362). Anesthesia was evaluated on Age- and sex-specific reference curves for noninvasive blood pressure. Mean noninvasive blood pressure during anesthesia in children varied from 33 mmHg at birth to 67 mmHg at 18 years for the 50th percentile.
