Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate the agreement between blood pressure measurements obtained with non-invasive oscillometry (test method) and arterial catheter-derived measurements (reference method).  The first measurement will be taken within 48 hours of placement of arterial line. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

Reference blood pressure will be measured invasively using an indwelling arterial catheter placed in the radial artery or femoral artery.

Ø  The arterial catheter transducer will be zeroed (to atmosphere) and levelled (right atrium).

Ø  Fast Flush test will be performed to confirm optimal damping. With optimal damping, the measured pressure should come to reflect the biological signal within one or two oscillations.

Ø  If not optimally damped, troubleshooting will be done to achieve it. Patient will not be included in the study if optimal damping cannot be achieved.

 

Non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure measurements will be performed using an upper-arm cuff. (contralateral arm when the arterial line is radial).

Ø  Arm circumference will be measured at the midpoint of acromion & olecranon. The correct cuff size will be estimated for each patient. The “ideal” cuff should have a bladder length that is 80% and a width that is at least 40% of arm circumference (a length-to-width ratio of 2:1)

Ø  The cuff will be placed on bare skin.

Ø  If there is an error in noninvasive oscillometric measurement, that measurement is discarded and new measurement will be taken after atleast 3 minutes.

The readings from the monitor (invasive arterial line BP & oscillometric BP) will be noted at the end of oscillometric BP measurement.

Each pair of measurements – invasive and oscillometric (Systolic, Diastolic & Mean Arterial Pressures) – will be taken three times at intervals of three minutes. The average will be calculated and considered as the result of the measurement.

Multiple measurements (maximum of 3) may be recorded for each patient at random time intervals(at least 6 hours apart).

The first measurement will be taken within 48 hours of placement of arterial line.

All the measurements will be taken within 7 days of inclusion in the study.

The dose of vasopressor(s) infusion will be documented at the time of the blood pressure measurement.

Vasoactive-inotropic score will be calculated for patients on vasopressor(s) & inotrope(s)

Once the sample collection is complete, patients will be categorized based on the median Vasoactive Inotrope Score (VIS) into the following categories for comparison of blood pressure measurements

Ø  No Vasopressors (VIS = 0)

Ø  High dose vasopressors (VIS ≥ Median)

Ø  Low dose vasopressor groups (VIS < Median)

Agreement between measurements will be defined according to the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standards (mean of the differences of ≤5 mmHg with a SD of ≤8 mmHg)

Measurements will be compared using Bland-Altman and Error Grid analyses.
