Noninvasive Blood Pressure Measurement Using the NICCI Monitor in Adolescents During Intraoperative Anesthetic Care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The intermittent measurement of blood pressure (BP) remains the standard of care during anesthesia or procedural sedation. To improve the early identification of hemodynamic compromise, various noninvasive BP devices have been developed which provide a continuous BP reading. The current study evaluates the accuracy of a novel continuous BP device, the NICCI system, in adolescents weighing 40 - 80 kg.

Methods

During intraoperative anesthetic care, BP readings (systolic, diastolic, and mean) were captured from the arterial cannula and the NICCI device every second.

Results

The study cohort included 44 pediatric patients undergoing major orthopedic, cardiac, and neurosurgical procedures. A total of 383,126 pairs of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic bloo
