Comprehensive, real-time hemodynamic monitoring and data acquisition: An essential component of the development of individualized neonatal intensive care

Key points Accurate assessment of the hemodynamic status in critically ill neonates requires blood pressure measurements to be interpreted in the context of indirect (clinical signs) and direct (measurements and assessments) indicators of systemic circulation (cardiac output) and regional organ…

Assessment of cardiac output in neonates: Techniques using the fick principle, indicator dilution technology, doppler ultrasound, electrical biosensing technology, and arterial pulse contour analysis

Key points Cardiac output monitoring in preterm and term neonates is feasible but remains challenging despite the availability of different technologies. The best systems to monitor cardiac output in the clinical setting in neonatal intensive care at present are transthoracic…
