Evaluation of hemodynamics in healthy term neonates using ultrasonic cardiac output monitor
ConclusionsCompared to previous studies, we expanded measurements to longer time-points and we analyzed the impact of commonly used clinical variables on hemodynamics during transition phase thus making our data clinically applicable in daily routine. We calculate reference values for each population, which can be of clinical relevance for quick bedside evaluation in neonatal intensive care unit.

A new life for Lynkin after encephalocele surgery
When you meet Lynkin Bell, the first things you notice are her big personality and chubby cheeks. You might also see how she adores her brother Lukis and hamming it up for the camera. But you’d never guess that this playful 14-month-old from Texas wasn’t expected to survive, never mind talk, stand or play peekaboo like a pro. And yet, thanks to her parents’ faith and persistence — and surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital — Lynkin can do all those things, and lots more, with the gusto befitting any toddler her age. “It’s a miracle,” says Kaylen Gaston, Lynkin’s mom. “We were told so many times she wou...

Non-invasive measurements of hemodynamic transition directly after birth.
Conclusion: LVD and LVO significantly increased the first 5 minutes after birth and stabilized at 10 minutes, whereas BP remained stable. LVO and LVD increase are presumably due to increasing left ventricular preload resulting from pulmonary blood flow and ductal shunting increase.Pediatric Research (2013); doi:10.1038/pr.2013.241.
