[A new instrument for blood pressure determination in neonatal care].
A new instrument for measuring blood pressure by oscillometry conceived for neonates was tested in 30 children between 32.6 kg and 1200 g body weight (the emphasis being on infants) using sphygmanometric and invasive arterial measurements for comparison. High accuracy and good reproducibility of the individual measurements were found, the time required for measurement being short. The authors discuss the problems governing the sphygmanometric and oscillometric method.
