Evaluation of the Frequency and Persistence of Wide Pulse Pressure in the Neonatal Population
Wide Pulse Pressure is frequently present in the normal, full-term neonatal population. This
study will evaluate the frequency and persistence of wide pulse pressure in the neonatal
population. Using a prospective study design in the Regular newborn and Observation
nurseries of SIUH, North site. Healthy newborns that are between 0-72 hrs of age will have
their blood pressures measured using the oscillometric method. This data will offer insight
into whether the presence of wide pulse pressure in otherwise healthy newborn infants
warrants further cardiovascular evaluation

Inclusion Criteria:
- Infants with gestational age > or = 35weeks and birth weight > 2500g, who are
hemodynamically stable, have no cardiorespiratory abnormalities and have no evidence
of sepsis. If a blood culture was drawn due to the presence of maternal risk factors
(e.g. maternal fever, prolonged rupture of membranes), patients will be included only
if the blood culture result is negative and in case of intrapartum antibiotic
treatment, ancillary blood tests (CBC with differential, CRP) are also within the
normal range
Exclusion Criteria:
- Infants with gestational age < 35weeks or birth weight < 2500g and with evidence of
neonatal sepsis either culture proven or clinically suspected.
