Knowing the normative blood pressure (BP) in a newborn baby is important in order to identify abnormal BP readings. This study was done to determine normative BP values of Nigerian newborns, using the 8100 Dinamap monitor.
Consecutive full-term neonates delivered in a tertiary centre in Nigeria were recruited for the study. The babies' systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP) and mean arterial (MAP) blood pressures were measured within the first four days after birth.
A total of 473 babies were recruited for the study. The mean SBP, DBP and MAP readings on day 1 were 66.8 +/- 7.7, 38.5 +/- 6.3 and 47.9 +/- 6.3 mmHg, respectively. The day 1 SBP of babies > 4 kg were significantly higher than those who weighed < 2.5 and 2.5-4 kg (p = 0.01, p = 0.05), respectively.
This study provided current normative SBP, DBP and MAP values for Nigerian neonates. The BP readings compared with their Caucasian counterparts.
了解新生儿的正常血压对于识别异常血压读数很重要。本研究旨在使用8100 Dinamap监护仪确定尼日利亚新生儿的正常血压值。
在尼日利亚一家三级医疗中心连续分娩的足月新生儿被纳入研究。在出生后的头四天内测量婴儿的收缩压(SBP)、舒张压(DBP)和平均动脉压(MAP)。
共有473名婴儿被纳入研究。第1天的平均SBP、DBP和MAP读数分别为66.8±7.7、38.5±6.3和47.9±6.3 mmHg。体重>4 kg婴儿的第1天SBP显著高于体重<2.5 kg和2.5-4 kg的婴儿(分别为p = 0.01,p = 0.05)。
本研究提供了尼日利亚新生儿当前的正常SBP、DBP和MAP值。并将这些血压读数与白种人新生儿进行了比较。
