[Usefulness of long-term monitoring of neonatal arterial pressure].
30 newborns were studied, whose systolic arterial pressure has been controlled every 30 minutes 48 hours long, with oscillometric automatic technique. The resulting average of oscillation was 45.1 +/- 12.8 mmHg for systolic pressure and 36 +/- 11.4 mmHg for diastolic pressure. Wide pressure oscillations, you can find in some newborns, could be related with the development of a future pressure hypertension, and therefore a long term pressure monitoring would turn to a real useful test to single out future hypertensive subjects.
