Abstract/OtherAbstract:
An instrument is described that measures limb blood flow in newborn infants by venous occlusion plethysmography. The plethysmograph is filled with air and a pneumotachygraph measures the volume displaced during venous occlusion. The response of the system is linear for flows over the range 1 to 100 ml/min and the frequency response to a square wave pressure change is 22 Hz with a 95% response time of 0.5 second. The average flow in the forearm of 10 normal newborn infants was 5.9 ml/min per 100 ml of tissue.
