Alterations in hemodynamic status are common in hospitalized neonates, and can significantly impact morbidity and mortality. Understanding the pathophysiology and pharmacology related to hyper- and hypotension will help the bedside nurse provide optimum care for their patients.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:

Identify conditions and procedures that can cause changes in the hemodynamic status of neonates.
Describe the pathophysiology of conditions leading to hyper- and hypotension in the neonate.
Identify appropriate medications for the treatment of hyper- and hypotension in the neonate.
