O objetivo do estudo foi monitorar a pressão arterial sistêmica de cordeiros durante o período neonatal. Foram usados 20 cordeiros da raça Ile de France, a partir do nascimento e aos sete, 14, 21, 28 e 35 dias de vida. Os parâmetros analisados foram: frequência cardíaca (FC), pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), diastólica (PAD) e média (PAM) pelo método oscilométrico petMAP®, e PAS com Doppler. Também foi realizada a pressão invasiva para validar os métodos indiretos obtendo a média de 101,52 ± 12,04 mmHg. As médias utilizando o petMAP® foram: FC (156,38 ± 37,46 bpm); PAD (63,80 ± 11,14 mmHg); PAM (81,58 ± 11,83 mmHg); PAS (112,48 ±15,68 mmHg) e PAS (90,27 ± 12,11 mmHg) com Doppler. Houve diferença significativa na FC e pressão arterial entre os momentos analisados. Os métodos indiretos diferiram entre si em 12,30 mmHg (superestimação de 11%). Comparando com a invasiva, os dois métodos superestimaram os valores da PAS em 4% e 16%, respectivamente, para Doppler e petMAP®. Os resultados mostraram que o método Doppler estabeleceu boa relação com a invasiva, sendo útil para aferição da PAS. O método oscilométrico necessita de maiores estudos para sua utilização em pequenos ruminantes. Abstract Neonatal physiology has peculiarities inherent to the age group. The objective of this study was to monitor the systemic arterial pressure in lambs during neonatal period. We used 20 Ile de France lambs, from birth and at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days of life. The following parameters were analyzed: heart rate (HR), systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and average blood pressure (ABP) by oscillometric method petMAPTM, and SBP with Doppler. Invasive pressure validated indirect methods with the average 101.52 ± 12.04 mmHg. The averages with petMAPTM were as follows: HR (156.38 ± 37.46 bpm); DBP (63.80 ± 11.14 mmHg); ABP (81.58 ± 11.83 mmHg); SBP (112.48 ± 15.68 mmHg) and SBP by Dobler (90.27 ± 12.11 mmHg). There was significant difference in HR and blood pressure among the moments. Indirect methods differ between each other in 12.30 mmHg (overestimation of 11%). Comparing with the invasive methods, both overestimated values of 4% and 16% in PAS, respectively, for Doppler and petMAPTM. The results showed that the Doppler method has established a good relationship with the invasive one being useful for gauging the SBP. The oscillometric method requires larger studies to be used in small ruminants.

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a severe complication in very low birth weight (VLBW) newborns (NB). With the purpose of studying the incidence of IVH, the associated risk factors, and the outcomes for these neonates, we studied all the VLBW infants born in our neonatal unit. Birth weight, gestational age, presence of perinatal asphyxia, mechanical ventilation, length of hospitalization, apnea crisis, hydrocephalus, and periventricular leukomalacia were analyzed. The diagnosis of IVH was based on ultrasound scan studies (Papile's classification) performed until the tenth day of life and repeated weekly in the presence of abnormalities. Sixty-seven/101 neonates were studied. The mortality rate was 30.6% (31/101) and the incidence of IVH was 29.8% (20/67) : 70% grade I, 20% grade III and 10% grade IV. The incidence of IVH in NB

The clinical and hematological features of seven newborn infants with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) wereanalyzed, 5 of them had familial antecedents of the disease. All 7 patients with neonatal HS had early and intensejaundice. Phototherapy was employed in all of them, but 3 required exchange transfusions. The evolution of thesepatients showed the same patterns that those cases whose HS diagnosis was established at later ages. Another 29cases, recognized after the neonatal period, were also analized. In this later patients pathological neonatal jaundicewas noted in 44.8% of the cases. Probably HS with hemolytic jaundice in the newborns is undcrdiagnoscd andshould be investigated in every patient with neonatal jaundice of unknown origin: familial antecedents of US nuistbe inquired, specially if there is anemia, and complete hematological study (osmotic fragility test included)toghcther with a differential diagnosis with ABO incompatibility should also be done.(Key words: Hereditary spherocytosis, signs and symptoms, neonatal period, newborn infants, early manifestations).
