Evaluation of a system for continuous neonatal blood pressure monitoring

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of varying infusion rates as well as different catheter sizes and types on the mean arterial pressure as measured by a system in which the pressure transducer is connected in series to the line of fluids being administered through the catheter. The results of this study show that, under most circumstances, errors in mean blood pressure measured by this system are minimal and clinically insignificant.
