Normal values for neonatal blood pressure.
Normal rv pressure neonate. Age was 10 days to 12 months median 4 5 months and weight was 3 1 to 9 0 kg median 4 7 kg. Doppler and direct measurements of right ventricle to right atrial pressure drop were made during cardiac catheterisation on 28 occasions in 26 infants with congenital heart disease. The normal values for blood pressure pulse rate and respiratory rate change as the newborn infant child grows and ages. However body temperature may fluctuate depending upon the time of day and a normal temperature may range between 97 0 f 36 1 c and 100 3 f 37 9 c.
