Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cardiovascular response to short-term prone positioning in neonates. STUDY DESIGN: In this prospective study, we continuously monitored heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) by electrical velocimetry in hemodynamically stable neonates in each of the following positions for 10 min: supine, prone and back-to-supine position. Skin blood flow (SBF) was also continuously assessed on the forehead or foot using Laser Doppler technology. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) index was calculated as mean blood pressure (BP)/CO. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. RESULTS: Thirty neonates (gestational age: 35±4 weeks; postmenstrual age: 36±3 weeks) were enrolled. HR did not change in response to positioning. However, in prone position, SV, CO and SBF decreased and SVR index increased from 1.5±0.3 to 1.3±0.3 ml kg(-1) (mean ±s.d., P<0.01), 206±44 to 180±41 ml kg(-1) min(-1) (P<0.01), 0.54±0.30 to 0.44±0.29 perfusion units (P<0.01) and 0.25±0.06 to 0.30±0.07 mm Hg ml(-1) kg(-1) min(-1) (P<0.01), respectively. After placing the infants back-to-supine position, SV, CO, SBF and SVR index returned to baseline. The above pattern of cardiovascular changes was consistent in vast majority of the studied neonates. CONCLUSIONS: Short-term prone positioning is associated with decreased SV, CO and SBF and increased calculated SVR index.
