Continuous non-invasive monitoring of blood pressure in the operating room: a cuffless optical technology at the fingertip
Open accessAbstract
Routine monitoring of blood pressure during general anaesthesia relies on intermittent measurements with a non-invasive brachial cuff every five minutes. This manuscript provides first experimental evidence that a physiology-based pulse wave analysis algorithm applied to optical data (as provided by a standard fingertip pulse oximeter) is capable of accurately estimating blood pressure changes in-between cuff readings. Combined with the routine use of oscillometric cuffs, the presented novel approach is a candidate technology to increase patient safety by providing beat-to-beat hemodynamic measurements without the need of invasive monitoring procedures.

New devices that promise to change the current paradigm of hypertension monitoring use either inflating wristband cuffs or optical pulse wave-based metrics of BP.
“New devices that promise to change the current paradigm of hypertension monitoring use either inflating wristband cuffs (e.g., Omron HeartGuide, currently undergoing clinical testing) or optical pulse wave-based metrics of BP [75,76].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
