Non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring during carotid endarterectomy

Official title: Continuous Non-invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring During Carotid Endarterectomy Surgery

Run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT06965257 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This test will see if a non-invasive digital cuff can continuously track blood pressure as accurately as an arterial catheter in adults having carotid endarterectomy under general anesthesia.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) scheduled for carotid endarterectomy under general anesthesia who can give consent and for whom both an arterial catheter and the digital cuff can be applied.

Probably not a fit

Patients who cannot have an arterial catheter or a digital cuff placed, those unable to express consent, or those under guardianship or deprived of liberty are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational study compares continuous arterial pressure curves from the standard invasive arterial catheter with readings from a non-invasive digital cuff using plethysmography during carotid endarterectomy. Continuous blood pressure will be recorded from both devices throughout the operation and agreement between methods will be analyzed using Bland–Altman comparisons of mean arterial pressure curves. The aim is to characterize concordance and to identify situations where the non-invasive device performs reliably or diverges from the arterial line. The single-center study is conducted at CHU Henri Mondor and enrolls adult patients who can consent and for whom both monitoring methods can be placed.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the non-invasive device could let some patients avoid arterial catheter placement, reducing pain and risks of ischemic and infectious complications.

How similar studies have gone: Similar non-invasive pulse-wave devices have shown mixed but sometimes promising agreement with arterial lines in surgical settings, but concordance is not uniformly established for carotid endarterectomy.
