Sonographic measurements of IVC and Ao maximum diameters in term neonates suggests a significant positive correlation among gestational age, BSA, and IVC and Ao diameters. The IVC/Ao ratios remain constant over 48 hours after birth in neonates with weight loss up to 8% of BW, and appear to be lower than previously reported ratios for healthy children.
