Blood pressure and heart function in ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have an arterial line in place (a small tube in an artery to monitor blood pressure)

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.
This trial sets up a way to collect and store physiological readings (like vital-sign data) from adults in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve how doctors understand and monitor critically ill patients over time.
This study compares individualized blood pressure goals versus the usual (standard) targets for adults in the ICU with shock. The aim is to see whether tailored blood pressure treatment can improve outcomes by better matching each person’s needs.
This study compares two types of blood tests (from a vein and an artery) to see if they give similar information about oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in critically ill patients, especially those with diabetes. The results may help doctors choose the best way to monitor patients in the ICU.
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
This study looks at how doctors set up the blood pressure monitors in the ICU. It checks if the position of the monitor affects the readings, and it may help improve care for patients on breathing machines and blood pressure support.
