Testing a noninvasive blood pressure monitor during surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that measures blood pressure continuously without needing a needle in your artery. If you are having surgery and already need an arterial line, this device might offer a less invasive way to track your blood pressure during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for non-heart surgery with general or spinal anesthesia
- Your doctor plans to place an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) to monitor your blood pressure continuously
- You have a pulse that can be felt in your wrist
- Your blood pressure is similar in both arms (not more than 10 points difference)
- You do not have a dialysis shunt in your arm or an arm amputation
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a device that monitors blood pressure continuously during surgery using a finger cuff, instead of the standard arm cuff that gives readings every few minutes. You may be able to join if you are having surgery and are at higher risk of complications during anesthesia.
This study checks whether a non-invasive blood pressure device can measure blood pressure accurately in ICU patients right after cardiac surgery. It compares the new device to standard invasive monitoring through an arterial line or catheter.
This trial tests a wearable device that tracks your blood pressure continuously without extra pokes, compared to the standard arterial line. It could make monitoring more comfortable during your procedure.
This study tests a noninvasive way to measure blood pressure during planned (elective) heart or brain blood vessel procedures. If you are having one of these elective surgeries and fit the timing needs, you may help compare monitoring methods for safety and accuracy.
This trial tests a new method to monitor blood pressure during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It is for people at higher risk for stroke or other brain blood vessel issues.
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.
