Why the study?
Does the Dinamap non-invasive monitor provide accurate blood pressure measurements compared to direct intraarterial readings in ill Asian newborns?
Does the Dinamap non-invasive monitor provide accurate blood pressure measurements compared to direct intraarterial readings in ill Asian newborns?
The Dinamap monitor shows reasonable agreement with intraarterial blood pressure in ill newborns for mean arterial pressures above 40 mmHg, but tends to overestimate lower pressures.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Clinicians should interpret Dinamap readings ≤40 mmHg cautiously in ill newborns; leaves open need for prospective validation before guiding therapy.
Ang et al. (1990) studied this question.
