Comparing blood pressure cuff accuracy during head-down laparoscopic surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks how well a simple arm cuff (non-invasive blood pressure monitoring) works compared to a more direct method using a small tube in an artery during laparoscopic surgery in a head-down position. The findings could help make blood pressure monitoring more accurate and comfortable for future patients.
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 while tilted head-down (Trendelenburg position).
- As part of your routine care, you will have a small tube placed in an artery to closely monitor your blood pressure.
- You do not have peripheral artery disease (narrowing of blood vessels outside the heart).
- You do not have congestive heart failure.

This trial checks whether blood pressure readings from a standard arm cuff are as accurate as readings from an arterial line (a small tube in an artery) during lung surgery with one lung collapsed. If the cuff is reliable, patients may need fewer invasive monitoring methods in the future.
This study compares two methods of measuring blood pressure during the start of anesthesia: one using a small tube in an artery (invasive) and one using a standard arm cuff (non-invasive). It aims to see how well they agree in high-risk patients, which may help doctors monitor blood pressure more accurately and safely.
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 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.
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 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.
