How is Circulatory Stability Assessed in Neonates?
Assessment of circulatory stability involves monitoring several parameters:
Blood pressure: Regular measurements help in identifying hypotension or hypertension. Heart rate: Tachycardia or bradycardia can indicate circulatory instability. Oxygen saturation: Pulse oximetry is used to ensure adequate oxygen levels in the blood. Urine output: Reduced urine output can be a sign of poor perfusion and renal impairment. Capillary refill time: Prolonged capillary refill time can indicate poor peripheral perfusion.
