Abstract

An investigation of the systolic blood pressure of 90 Korean healthy newborn infants within 48 hours after birth was performed with a mercury sphygmomanometer of HAKO utilizing a 3.5 cm wide cuff. The systolic pressure of the right upper arm was measured by the oscillometric method during sleep. The results are as follows: 1) The average systolic pressure of Korean newborn infants was 73.4 mmHg. (range 68 to 82 mmHg) 2) There was no remarkable difference in the systolic pressure in male and female newborns(73.7 mmHg in males , 73.1 mmHg in females). 3) There appeared to be no correlation between the systolic pressure and the height. body weight. or gestational ages. 39 to 43 weeks. 4) A single measurement on each newborn. performed at various hours of age, did not reveal any significant difference in .values within the first 48 hours of life.
