Brief summary

There is very little information comparing non-invasive blood pressure (BP) readings obtained from upper and lower limbs, as well as comparing invasive and non-invasive blood pressures in the children under anesthesia. This study seeks to determine the correlation between the non-invasive BP measurements between upper and lower extremities and compare these measurements with the invasive BP as the standard for comparison.

Interventions

OTHERBlood pressure measurement

Blood pressure will be measured in both upper and lower extremities.
