Impact of Continuous Non-invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring on Hypotension in Patients Having Non-cardiac Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a randomized trial (1) investigating whether continuous non-invasive finger-cuff blood pressure monitoring reduces the area under a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction compared to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry in patients having non-cardiac surgery; and (2) investigating whether continuous non-invasive finger-cuff blood pressure monitoring reduces the time-weighted average for MAP <65 mmHg during the intraoperative period compared to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry in patients having non-cardiac surgery.

Experimental: Continuous monitoring group
|
Device: Continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring
In patients randomized to the continuous monitoring group, continuous non-invasive finger-cuff blood pressure monitoring will be displayed on the patient monitor. The treating anesthesiologist will be blinded to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry.

Active Comparator: Intermittent monitoring group

Device: Intermittent non-invasive blood pressure monitoring
In patients randomized to the intermittent monitoring group, intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry will be displayed on the patient monitor. The treating anesthesiologist is blinded to continuous non-invasive finger-cuff blood pressure monitoring.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Area under a MAP of 65 mmHg within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group. [15 min]
- Time-weighted average for MAP <65 mmHg during the intraoperative period between the intervention and the control group. [intraoperative]
