Objective To introduce a stepwise physiologic assessment of respiratory and cardiovascular monitoring parameters in infants Demonstrate the impact of critical assessment of monitoring parameters on daily medical recommendations
What is the most important parameter to monitor? a. Blood pressure b. Cardiac output c. Systemic vascular resistance d. Oxygen extraction by tissues and delivery e. All of the above

First important focused question in any patient care! When was the last time you were fine?
HR histogram General Regulators Nervous- Baroreceptor- Chemoreceptors-Humoral Routine cardiorespiratory monitors Resting state RR histogram PI histogram BP histogram Vital variables are following NDC at any given period It has Narrower base HR, RR, PI, BP histogram look similar in a stable infant
Case scenario BB born at 29 wks and PMA is 34 weeks, and was stable on CPAP. Overnight he became irritable and started to require more oxygen and was given multiple doses of chloral hydrate. CPAP increased from 6 to 7 cm.
Before intervention After intervention Septic work up revealed Staph Aureus sepsis and pneumonia
HIE on cooling, one day old UOP 1 ml/kg no acidosis Dopamine of 5 mic Conclusions : BP trend curve is horizontal (stable ) Pulse pressure is normal= acceptable stroke volume BP histogram is normally distributed (slightly shifted to left due to cooling)

Case scenario A preterm female infant, 31 weeks, born with congenital heart block, HR was between 50 to 55 BPM (cardiologist deferred pacemaker) Developed multiple events of bloody stool; at 43 days of age with normal AXR The infant was otherwise stable in level II nursery, Hb was 82mg dl -1, and lactic acid was 2.3 mmol dl -1.

Lessons Calculating components of oxygen delivery altogether was helpful to detect the mechanism of chronic ischemia in this case The common organs affected by chronic ischemia are intestine and kidneys
Conclusion Integrated Evaluation of Hemodynamics is a physiologic analysis of all respiratory, cardiovascular markers, systemic and tissue oxygen indices aiming to understand the pathophysiologic mechanism of hypoxia and the stage of compensation. This integration should lead to formulating a physiologic based medical recommendation.
