The Determination o] Blood Pressure in In/ancy II. The E#ect o/Di#erent Methods on the Determination o/ Blood Pressure Summary. In 100 children without cardio-vascular abnormalities (aged between 4 hours and 9 months) simultaneous determinations of blood pressure were carried out using auseultatory and photoelectric methods as well as an electric method which is similar to electric impedance plethysmography. The results for the systolic pressure using the electric method were almost identical to the intraarterial pressure recordings obtained by anglo-amerieam authors by catheterisation of the umbilical artery. The values for blood pressure taken simultaaeously with the auscultatory and photoelectric method were 3~ mm ttg lower compared to the electric method. This is probably due to the high sensitivity of the electric method which records the exact first pulse wave that gets through as soon as the cuff pressure is lowered. According to our results all three methods give clinically reliable systolic pressure recordings. We prefer the photoelectric and electric method for use in newborns and infants for practical reasons since the Korotkoff-sounds are extremely difficult to hear. In comparison to the above mentioned methods the flush-method does not give exact results.
