Multicenter Study
Normal Value of Perfusion Index in Healthy Neonates Born in Iran.
Perfusion index is a dependable indicator for assessing the perfusion status of newborns. A low perfusion index indicates compromised hemodynamic function. The study aims to investigate perfusion index in asymptomatic newborns aged 35 to 41 weeks who did not require medical support. ⋯ Developing a percentile perfusion index curve specific to healthy neonates provides a useful reference range for healthcare providers to assess perfusion status in this population, but further research is needed to confirm its accuracy.
