Comparing finger-sensor and traditional blood pressure monitoring during surgery
Superiority of Finger-sensor Over Oscillometric Arterial Pressure Monitoring in Patients Having Non-cardiac Surgery: the Prospective Observational PERCEPTION Study
University of Hamburg-Eppendorf · NCT06602089
This study is testing if a new finger-sensor method for measuring blood pressure during surgery is more accurate than the traditional method for patients having low- to moderate-risk non-cardiac surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the effectiveness of finger-sensor arterial pressure monitoring compared to traditional oscillometric monitoring in patients undergoing low- to moderate-risk non-cardiac surgery. The study aims to determine if finger-sensor measurements provide better agreement with intraarterial pressure measurements, which are considered the gold standard. By analyzing the accuracy of these two monitoring methods, the researchers hope to improve patient outcomes during surgery. Participants will be monitored for their blood pressure using both methods to assess the differences in measurement accuracy.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older scheduled for elective low- to moderate-risk non-cardiac surgery requiring general anesthesia.
Not a fit: Patients with significant interarm blood pressure differences, abnormal heart rhythms, or contraindications for finger-sensor monitoring may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate blood pressure monitoring during surgery, enhancing patient safety and outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on various blood pressure monitoring techniques, this specific comparison of finger-sensor and oscillometric methods in a surgical setting is relatively novel.
