Blood pressure cuff for vein pressure in intensive care
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to estimate the pressure inside your child's veins using a blood pressure cuff, aiming to replace the need for frequent invasive measurements. It may help reduce discomfort and risk from catheters.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is currently in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) or pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU).
- Your child has a central line (a special IV in a large vein) that is not a PICC line, and it is already measuring blood pressure in the vein continuously.
- Your child has not had the Glenn or Fontan heart surgeries.
- Your child does not have heterotaxy syndrome (an organ arrangement disorder).
- You or your child's legal guardian can give written permission to participate.

This study tests if measuring pressure from a vein in the arm can help guide treatment for people hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It aims to understand if this simple procedure could replace or reduce the need for more invasive monitoring.
This study looks at a possible link between the size of a large vein (the inferior vena cava) and the pressure in the right side of the heart in children. If the link is strong, doctors might one day use vein size to estimate heart pressure without more invasive tests.
This trial tests a new way to measure pressure inside a major vein in the chest without needing to stick any needles. It might be an option for children and young adults up to age 21 who already have a central line or are getting a heart catheter.
This study tests if a non-invasive method can estimate central venous pressure, reducing the need for invasive catheters in heart patients.
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.
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.
