Blood pressure monitoring during head-down laparoscopic surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests how well a non-invasive blood pressure cuff matches the readings from an arterial line during laparoscopic surgery where you are tilted head-down. It looks for people who are already having this type of surgery with an arterial line.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery) while lying head-down (Trendelenburg position).
- Your surgical team plans to use an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) to continuously monitor your blood pressure during surgery.
- You do not have peripheral artery disease (blockages in the arteries of your arms or legs).
- You do not have congestive heart failure (a condition where your heart is not pumping normally).

This trial tests how well a standard arm blood pressure cuff works compared to a more precise arterial line during lung surgery when patients are on a special breathing tube. The goal is to see if the cuff is accurate enough to use instead of the arterial line.
This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
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.
This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This study tests how well different blood pressure monitors work during surgery. It might help if you are having surgery under general anesthesia and already need an arterial line.
This trial compares two ways to measure blood pressure during robot-assisted prostate surgery: a cuff on the arm (oscillometric) vs. a tiny tube in an artery (intraarterial). It aims to see if the cuff method is just as reliable, which could make monitoring simpler and less invasive.
