PY - 2007 T2 - Current Procedures: Pediatrics AB - • All children aged 3 years or older who are seen in any medical setting should have their blood pressure (BP) measured.• BP is a primary measure of cardiac output in acute assessment of any potentially compromised patient.• BP change over time allows monitoring of changing hemodynamic status and of response to intervention.• In critical care settings, BP is best monitored by arterial line, since peripheral measures can be inaccurate when cardiac output is compromised.
