Blood pressure measurement during cesarean delivery: Evaluation of a beat-to-beat noninvasive device (NexfinTM).

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Early detection of arterial hypotension during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia is important. This study aims to compare the validity of NexfinTM as beat-to-beat noninvasive blood pressure monitoring with conventional intermittent oscillometric measurement of blood pressure during elective cesarean delivery.This open prospective observational bicentric study was performed between January 2013 and December 2015. We simultaneously recorded arterial blood pressure with both techniques in pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. The primary outcome was a Bland-Altman analysis of systolic blood pressure measurement comparing NexfinTM and a conventional method. The secondary outcomes were the time to detect the first relevant hypoten
