Simultaneous determination of arterial pressures by the Doppler ultrasonic technique and intra-arterial measurements were done on 13 children during cardiac catheterization at the St. Louis Children's Hospital. Their ages ranged from 4 weeks to 14 years. Sixty-nine paired determinations were obtained. There was good correlation between the two methods for systolic pressures ranging from 70 to 150 mm Hg (correlation coefficient 0.945) as well as for the diastolic pressures which ranged from 36 to 73 mm Hg (correlation coefficient 0.754). The instrumentation is not elaborate; the method is simple and can be used by a physician, nurse, or nurse's aide for routine blood pressure determination in infants and children.

AbstractPericardiocentesis is usually an easy and uncomplicated procedure when guided by cross-sectional echocardiography, but an abnormal intracardiac or extrapericardial position of the puncture system can occur, especially in children. Injection of echo contrast medium through the puncture needle is a very sensitive, quick, easy and harmless procedure which can be performed at the bedside in all cases in which doubt remains concerning the location of the needle. Prompt enhancement of signal intensity of the peri-cardial fluid validates the correct intrapericardial position, and permits visualization of the tip of the needle. Absence of echodense formations excludes an intrapericardial position. We recommend the use of echo contrast medium during pericardiocentesis whenever blood is aspirated through the needle, or if there is any doubt concerning its location.
