title: Clinical assessment of the neonatal Dinamap 847 during anesthesia in neonates and infants.
abstract: Direct measurements of systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure and electrocardiogram-derived heart rates were compared with indirect arterial blood pressure measurements using the Dinamap 847XT noninvasive monitor. A total of 260 paired comparisons from 16 patients were analyzed. A regression analysis of paired data over a wide range of blood pressure values gave the following results: for heart rate r = 0.97, for systolic arterial pressure r = 0.84, for mean arterial pressure r = 0.73, and for diastolic arterial pressure r = 0.52. The 95% confidence limits for systolic, mean, and diastolic arterial pressure were +/- 16 mm Hg, +/- 18 mm Hg, and +/- 21 mm Hg, respectively. The Dinamap monitor was found to be an accurate trend recorder of heart rate and blood pressure during anesthesia in neonates and small infants.
