Summary

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
