All infants born beyond 32 weeks of pregnancy who are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and needed hemodynamic were included in the study. Peripheral PI was monitored along with other noninvasive parameters at specific intervals and compared with those parameters for the degree of variation in each at specified time intervals and with the changing hemodynamic status of these babies including adverse outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cohort of 93 neonates was enrolled in the study. Our study found lower PI values among newborns with adverse outcomes. This study also revealed negative correlations between HR and PI, suggesting that low PI could indicate early neonatal compromise and circulatory inadequacy. We also established positive correlations between PI and CRT, systolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, and pulse pressure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
