Blood pressure study for newborns and children
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age from newborn to under 18 years old.
- Must have an arterial line (a tube in an artery) as part of their regular care.
- Arm or thigh must be the right size for a blood pressure cuff (arm: 3–33 cm around, thigh: 38–50 cm around).
- Must have a guardian or legal representative who can give permission (if under 15), or be able to give their own consent (if 15–17).
- Must not have certain health problems like severe infections, unstable blood pressure, or pregnancy (for teens).

This study tests how accurately a non-invasive blood pressure device measures your pressure compared to a direct measurement from an arterial line (a thin tube in an artery that directly measures pressure). You'll need to be in a hospital or intensive care setting where you already have an arterial line as part of your standard care.
This study tests how well a new blood pressure cuff measures blood pressure compared to a standard arterial line. If you already have an arterial line as part of your care, you may be able to help us see if the cuff is accurate.
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 study tests a new wearable device that measures blood pressure without a cuff. You might be able to join if you are generally healthy, not pregnant, and have no serious heart or kidney problems.
This study is testing a new electronic blood pressure monitor (CONTEC08C) to see how accurate it is. It is for people aged 12 to 79 who do not have heart rhythm problems, arm injuries, or other conditions that might interfere with the measurement.
This study is testing a new way to measure blood pressure and other vital signs in adults. It may help find better methods for monitoring health.
