SUMMARY Principles and techniques for the application of indicator‐dilution studies to the newborn period are discussed. A simple method for in vivo dye curve calibration is described, and a modification of the forward triangle factor for cardiac output estimation in this age group is presented: Methods of calculation of cardiac output and shunts are given. Many problems unique to the neonatal period are suited to study by careful application of these techniques.
