Point on Early Neonatal Cardiovascular Changes and Hematocrit: Something to Study Further

Abstract

Often the Hematocrit is a forgotten factor, it’s correlation with other cardiovascular parameters is not considered or studied. The importance to considerate Hematocrit [1], during a research on a newborn, like a parameter of study is demonstrated by the laws of physics [2]. The most important law we consider is the Hagen-Poiseuille’s law that shows the relationship between viscosity and hydraulic resistance:
