Is perfusion index a surrogate indicator of left ventricular contractility in neonates? A prospective study
Introduction : Noninvasive blood pressure monitoring may not accurately reflect cardiac contractility in neonates due to low vascular tone. The perfusion index (PI) is a noninvasive method of assessing the strength of peripheral pulses. It is shown to have a significant correlation with the left ven...
