Continuous noninvasive monitoring of arterial pressure using the vascular unloading technique in comparison to the invasive gold standard in elderly comorbid patients: A prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Elderly patients aged ≥65 years represent a growing population in the perioperative field, particularly orthopedic and vascular surgery. The higher degree of age-related or comorbid-dependent vascular alterations renders these patients at risk for hemodynamic complications and likely denote a possible limitation for modern, non-invasive arterial pressure monitoring devices. The aim was to compare vascular unloading technique-derived to invasive measurements of systolic (SAP), diastolic (DAP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in elderly perioperative patients.

Methods

This prospective observational study included patients aged ≥65 years scheduled for orthopedic and patients ≥50 years with peripheral artery disease Fontaine stage ≥ II scheduled for vascular
