Peculiarities of hemodynamic status of healthy newborns in early neonatal period

The study is devoted to the assessment of hemodynamic parameters in healthy newborns in the early neonatal period. The authors examined 76 healthy newborns aged up to 7 days. 12 (15.7%) of 76 children were diagnosed with intrauterine growth retardation of hypotrophic type and 14 children (18.49%) were premature. The authors evaluated the diameter of the outgoing tract of the left ventricle, pulmonary artery trunk, mitral and tricuspid valve rings. The disc method was used to determine the final diastolic volume of the left ventricle. The pulse Doppler was used to determine the integrated flow rate in the outflow tract of the left ventricle, the pulmonary artery trunk, on the mitral and tricuspid valves. After US there were calculated the stroke volume index, cardiac index, total peripheral vascular resistance and oxygen delivery index.The results. It integral flow rate was found to be a key indicator of central hemodynamics, which determines the magnitude of the stroke volume. Body weight and the presence of functioning fetal communications do not have a significant impact on the indexed systemic blood flow in healthy newborns. There is a direct correlation between the integral blood flow velocity and the stroke volume index, which is characteristic of all intracardiac anatomical structures
