Abstract
The feasibility of using a Finapres device to reproduce the beat to be at signal of arterial blood pressure in eight neonates was assessed an d compared with intraarterial measurement of arterial blood pressure i n the umbilical artery, using a catheter. The two methods gave similar results. Continuous recording of arterial blood pressure in neonates using Finapres is feasible and reliable.
