CV summary: peds
1) HR-dependent CO
2) incr HR
3) reduced BP
4) non-compliant LV
5) residual fetal circulation
6) potential difficult venous/arterial cannulation
BSA is _______
larger
how do neonates warm themselves?
brown fat metabolism for nonshivering thermogenesis
what inhibits brown fat metabolism
anesthesia
BSA calculation
BSA = sqrt[(height x weight)/3600]
