Evaluating a new method for continuous blood pressure monitoring during surgery
Non-invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring With ClearSight in Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac or Neurointerventional Surgery: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study
This study tests a new device for continuously monitoring blood pressure during surgery to see if it works better and is safer than the traditional method.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the ClearSight monitor for continuous blood pressure measurement in patients undergoing complex surgeries. It will compare the setup speed and accuracy of this non-invasive method against the traditional arterial line monitor, which is currently the gold standard. The research focuses on the importance of rapid blood pressure detection to prevent complications such as bleeding and cardiac damage. By exploring a less invasive alternative, the study seeks to improve patient safety and comfort during surgical procedures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients scheduled for elective cardiac or neurointerventional surgeries requiring continuous blood pressure monitoring.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing emergent surgeries may not benefit from this study as they do not meet the eligibility criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to safer and more comfortable blood pressure monitoring for patients undergoing complex surgeries.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored non-invasive blood pressure monitoring methods, but this specific comparison with the ClearSight system is novel.
