The amount of blood that comes from the heart with each contraction is the stroke volume (SV). The stroke volume is the difference between how full it is at the start and how full it is after a contraction. The next element of stroke volume is the emptying. What are vasoactive drugs? Ed makes a full recovery.

Neonatal hypotension can result from inadequate cardiac output, low systemic vascular resistance, or a combination of both, which are influenced by: Cardiac Output: Neonates, particularly preterm ones, may have compromised cardiac output due to myocardial immaturity, leading to reduced stroke volume and heart rate.
