Key result
Perioperative anesthetic factors, such as hemodynamics and hypocapnia, influence cerebral perfusion and neurodevelopment in neonates, while blood pressure is a limited marker for perfusion.
This review highlights the limitations of blood pressure as a marker for cerebral perfusion and discusses the impact of anesthetic factors like hypocapnia on neurocognitive outcomes in neonates.

BP alone may inadequately guide neonatal anesthesia; leaves open prospective identification of optimal perfusion markers.
McCann et al. (2013) conducted a review in Perioperative care in neonates. Anesthetic factors (hemodynamics, ventilation, hypocapnia) was evaluated on Cerebral perfusion and neurocognitive outcome. Perioperative anesthetic factors, such as hemodynamics and hypocapnia, influence cerebral perfusion and neurodevelopment in neonates, while blood pressure is a limited marker for perfusion.
