Accuracy of the NICCI™ Monitor in Children and Adolescents
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective study that will compare the blood pressure readings from an arterial cannula with those obtained non-invasively by the NICCI device. The study will enroll 50 patients into each of three weight ranges: 10-20 kg, 20-40 kg, and 40-80 kg.
The NICCI, Pulsion/GETINGE uses novel technology to provide a continuous estimation of BP displayed as a waveform similar to that seen with an invasive arterial cannula, but is totally non-invasive by using the fingers. The patient rests their hand on the device, which is about the size of a computer mouse, and then a blood pressure cuff goes around their upper arm.
