Non-invasive Blood Pressure (BP) Monitoring Compared to A-Line BP Monitoring

Completed

Conditions studied: Blood Pressure

In brief

Blood pressure cuffs (NIBP) are slowly replacing intra-arterial (IABP) measurement as the standard of care in the medical intensive care unit. There is little data to support this clinical normalization of deviance. This study aims to correlate NIBP with IABP.
