Comparison of noninvasive and invasive of blood pressure monitoring in neonate with exchange transfusion via peripheral vessels

Abstract

Objective To compare the effect of invasive and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring on exchange transfusion of neonate.Methods A convenience sampling was used for data collection.11cases with exchange transfusion via peripheral vessels for hyperbilirubinemia were recruited and 109 times of invasive and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring were recorded.Then,the data was analyzed.Results The main findings from this study were:the data from non-invasive method was higher than invasive[(50.38 ± 1.76) vs (48.06 ±2.18)mm Hg] ; two methods of blood pressure monitoring had positive relationship(r =0.82,P ＜0.05) ;birth weight of baby was negatively associated with difference between two methods (t =-2.53,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Invasive blood pressure monitoring is the first choice for neonatal with exchange transfusion.
