STUDY THE CHANGE OF ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE MEASURED BY NON-INVASIVE AND INVASIVE METHODS IN CHILDREN WITH DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER SHOCK
Objective: To study the change of arterial blood pressure measured by non-invasive (NIBP) and invasive (PA) methods in children with Dengue Hemorrhagic fever shock. Patients and methods: included 60 patients ≤ 15 years old and hospitalized with diagnosis of Dengue Hemorrhagic fever with shock (level 3, level 4) at intensive care unit of Can tho Children's Hospital. Each patient’s arterial blood pressure will be simultaneously measured by both NIBP and PA methods. Results: At the time of shock, value of systolic blood pressure measured by the NIBP was 100.7 ± 10.8 mmHg, which was higher than the values measured by the PA was 91.7 ± 8.9 mmHg (p<0.05). Differentiating between the two methods was 9.1 ± 9.4 mmHg. At the time of shock exit, value of systolic blood pressure measured by the NIBP was 104.4 ± 10.6 mm Hg and measured by the PA was 105.5 ± 12.3 mmHg. Differentiating between the two measurements was 12.3 ± 10.3 mmHg. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant difference of blood pressure values measured by two non-invasive and invasive methods at the time of shock.
