An indirect automatic blood pressure (BP) monitor utilizing the oscillometric principle and a microprocessor is now available for use in infants. This device was evaluated by comparing its systolic BP determinations with simultaneous Doppler systolic BP determinations in neonates and infants undergoing general anesthesia. Five determinations each were made in 125 babies who were grouped according to age. Correlation coefficients of the paired BP determinations were: in 27 premature neonates, r = 0.82; in 24 term neonates, r = 0.93; in 47 infants aged 5 to 13 weeks, r = 0.92; and in 27 infants aged 14 to 26 weeks, r = 0.94. The device was also evaluated by comparing its BP determinations with those of indwelling arterial lines present in 20 additional infants (five determinations each). Correlation coefficients were 0.96 for systolic determinations and 0.94 for diastolic determinations. No morbidity or significant technical problems were noted. It was concluded that the device is an accurate, safe, and easy noninvasive method for monitoring BP in infants.
一种利用示波原理和微处理器的间接自动血压监测仪现已可用于婴儿。通过将其收缩压测定值与接受全身麻醉的新生儿和婴儿同时进行的多普勒收缩压测定值进行比较，对该设备进行了评估。根据年龄对125名婴儿进行分组，每组进行5次测定。配对血压测定的相关系数为：27名早产儿中，r = 0.82；24名足月儿中，r = 0.93；47名5至13周龄婴儿中，r = 0.92；27名14至26周龄婴儿中，r = 0.94。还通过将其血压测定值与另外20名婴儿（每人进行5次测定）的留置动脉导管测定值进行比较，对该设备进行了评估。收缩压测定的相关系数为0.96，舒张压测定的相关系数为0.94。未发现任何发病率或重大技术问题。得出的结论是，该设备是一种准确、安全且简便的无创婴儿血压监测方法。
