Blood Pressure Reference Values in Infants Under 1 Year of Age. Oscillometric and Auscultatory Parameters

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Blood pressure values in infants are an understudied topic. It is a complex problem in routine care. We only have reference charts obtained using oscillometric devices, which are not up to date and were measured more than 30 years ago. The usual reference standard for blood pressure is the values obtained by auscultation, and there are no ...
