Abstract
Blood pressure response to head-up tilting was studied in 40 normal, full-term, newborn infants. An initial fall in pressure with a consistent return to pre-tilt levels was observed in the majority. This supports the concept that baroreceptor reflexes are present and active in the full-term, newborn infant.Keywords
