Blood Pressure

Brief summary

This is a prospective observational study to investigate if a non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device, the CareTaker Pulse Decomposition Analysis (PDA), can accurately measure blood pressure in children when compared to an arterial line. Enrolled patients will have the CareTaker PDA device placed on their finger during their operation to collect data for 30 minutes. Blood pressure readings from the CareTaker PDA device will be compared to measurements from the patient's indwelling arterial line, which will be placed as part of the patient's clinical care plan.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Blood Pressure Comparison (Systolic)One hour during procedureThe accuracy of blood pressure measurements (systolic) taken from the non-invasive blood pressure device will be compared to measurements taken from the patient's indwelling arterial line, which will be place as part of standard of care.
Blood Pressure Comparison (Diastolic)One hour during procedureThe accuracy of blood pressure measurements (diastolic) taken from the non-invasive blood pressure device will be compared to measurements taken from the patient's indwelling arterial line, which will be place as part of standard of care.
Blood Pressure Comparison (Mean)One hour during procedureThe accuracy of blood pressure measurements (mean) taken from the non-invasive blood pressure device will be compared to measurements taken from the patient's indwelling arterial line, which will be place as part of standard of care.
