Abstract in brief

The review analyzed various methods of measuring blood pressure in neonates, focusing on cuff size, measurement location, and technique, to determine the most accurate approach.
Findings suggest that using a cuff width about 50% of the arm circumference and measuring on the upper arm yields the most reliable and consistent blood pressure readings.
While oscillometric and intraarterial methods correlate well for mean arterial pressure, oscillometric measurements tend to overestimate systolic BP and are less accurate for diastolic and mean arterial pressures, highlighting the need for further research to improve non-invasive measurement methods.]
