Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients scheduled for elective cardiac or neurointerventional surgeries requiring continuous blood pressure monitoring.

Probably not a fit

Patients undergoing emergent surgeries may not benefit from this study as they do not meet the eligibility criteria.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.

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 gone: Other studies have explored non-invasive blood pressure monitoring methods, but this specific comparison with the ClearSight system is novel.
