Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the normal values for Smith-Madigan inotropy (SMI), Smith-Madigan inotropy index (SMII), oxygen delivery (DO2) and oxygen delivery index DO2I in healthy term neonates on the first day of life and during circulatory adaptation over the first three days of life.Methods: Hemodynamics of the left heart were measured non-invasively in 71 normal full-term neonates over the first three days using the Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor (USCOM). This was combined with hemoglobin concentration from umbilical cord blood and pulse oximetry to calculate DO2 and DO2I. Blood pressure was measured using automated oscillometry and combined with the hemodynamic measures and hemoglobin concentration using the Smith-Madigan method to calculate inotropy (SMI) and inotropy index (SMII).Results: SMI and SMII showed no significant change during the study period, ranging from 154 to 168 mW and 694 to 731 mW/m(2). Mean (SD) DO2 and DO2I showed a significant fall over three days from 131 (63) ml/min and 596 (278) ml/m(2)/min to 118 (46) ml/min and 517 (173) ml/m(2)/min (p
