Intraarterial blood pressure monitoring in prehospital emergency care: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Blood pressure is a key vital sign in prehospital emergency care and essential for assessing the hemodynamic status and guiding treatment. In the prehospital setting, blood pressure is usually measured intermittently with non-invasive cuff-techniques. However, intraarterial blood pressure monitoring with an arterial catheter offers continuous and more accurate measurements. This scoping review aimed to synthesize and analyze the current literature on intraarterial blood pressure monitoring in prehospital emergency care.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, and CINAHL were searched on April 15, 2025, following PRISMA-ScR guidelines and Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Studies involving adults (≥ 18 years) having prehospital intraarterial blood pre
