How is Hemodynamic Stability Assessed in Neonates?
Assessment of hemodynamic stability involves multiple parameters:
- Blood Pressure: Monitoring both systolic and diastolic pressures to ensure adequate perfusion. - Heart Rate: Tachycardia or bradycardia can indicate underlying issues. - [Capillary Refill Time](): A non-invasive measure of peripheral perfusion. - [Echocardiography](): Provides detailed information about cardiac structure and function. - [Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)](): Monitors tissue oxygenation and perfusion in real-time.
