Check how well a blood pressure cuff reads in critically ill patients
This study tests whether a noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) cuff gives accurate readings in people being cared for in intensive care or the operating room. It will compare the cuff’s numbers to blood pressure measured through an arterial line in different patient groups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re being admitted to the NICU, PICU, ICU, or the operating room (OR)
- You are 18 or older, or you’re the parent/legal guardian of a minor who can consent
- Doctors need a blood pressure cuff (NIBP) as part of your care
- You may need a specific type of blood-pressure line: radial for some groups, radial or umbilical for others
- It must be possible for clinicians to correctly place the study device on your body
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you’re not currently in another study that could affect results

This study looks at the relationship between blood pressure and the amount of blood the heart pumps in critically ill patients. It may help doctors better understand and manage your condition in the ICU.
This trial tests a new, very accurate blood pressure cuff that uses water to get a better reading. It is for adults who already need a standard blood pressure cuff and an arterial line as part of their hospital care.
This study tests how well a new blood pressure cuff measures blood pressure compared to a standard arterial line. If you already have an arterial line as part of your care, you may be able to help us see if the cuff is accurate.
This study tests how accurately a non-invasive blood pressure device measures your pressure compared to a direct measurement from an arterial line (a thin tube in an artery that directly measures pressure). You'll need to be in a hospital or intensive care setting where you already have an arterial line as part of your standard care.
This study tests a new automatic blood pressure cuff that may work as well as the standard invasive blood pressure monitor. It is for adults in the operating room, recovery room, or intensive care unit who already have an arterial line.
This study tests a new non-invasive blood pressure device in babies, children, and teens. It compares the device's readings to those from an arterial line, which is already in place for their medical care. The goal is to see if the device can measure blood pressure accurately without needles.
