Brief summary

This study will compare accuracy of a newly developed monitor for continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring (CNAP™ Monitor 500; CNSystems Medizintechnik AG, Graz, Austria) that provides beat-to-beat BP readings with two of the current and more commonly used intermittently oscillometric non-invasive blood pressure device (NIBP), and the invasive arterial line (IBP).

Inclusion criteria

* Patients who are scheduled for laparoscopic bariatric surgery for the treatment of obesity * Patients in whom an indwelling arterial cannula will be placed for the surgical procedure

Exclusion criteria

* Patients with history of a peripheral neurologic or neuropathic disorder * Patients in whom an invasive arterial cannula cannot be placed * Patients with vascular implants at the sites of non-invasive blood pressure measurement (fingers and upper arm of the examined arm) * Edematous patients

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Absolute Difference in Mean Arterial Pressure Between the Arterial Catheter and the CNAP.Participants will be followed for the duration of surgery, an expected average of 2 hours.To avoid biasing the data, the absolute, not directional, difference was used. For example, if the reading from the CNAP device was 10 mmHg above or below the reading from the AC, a value of 10 mmHg was used, not -10 or +10 mmHg.

Outcome results

Primary

The Absolute Difference in Mean Arterial Pressure Between the Arterial Catheter and the CNAP.

To avoid biasing the data, the absolute, not directional, difference was used. For example, if the reading from the CNAP device was 10 mmHg above or below the reading from the AC, a value of 10 mmHg was used, not -10 or +10 mmHg.

Time frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of surgery, an expected average of 2 hours.

Population: The initial study cohort included 21 patients; however, the finger cuff was expired in 1 patient, resulting in no data collection, and the data from 2 other patients were lost in the download to the electronic medical record system.
