Women and Children's Health Hospital, Jinan, China

Objective: To investigate the correlation of systolic pressure data between Skin Flush Test and Dinamap Test in newborn infants.

Methods: The data of systolic pressure of forty-one newborn infants were measured respectively by Skin Flush Test and Dinamap Test in the first day. The measure location is on the right upper arm. The width of special cuff is 2.5 cm.

Results: The data of two groups are different significantly. The range of systolic pressure data in Skin Flush Test is 46.8±4.53mmHg and the change in Dinamap Test is 57.78±8.30mmHg. All data of systolic pressure were mapped scatter diagram. The author found that the data from different methods were linear correlation. The coefficient of correlation is 0.796. (r=0.796 ,t=8.22, p<0.001.) Regression equation is Y^=-10.91+1.47X.

Conclusion: The data of systolic pressure of newborn infants between Skin Flush Test and Dinamap Test are highly linear correlation.
