Study Summary

This trial compares a new continuous blood pressure measurement device to the standard radial artery catheterization method in patients undergoing surgery or in the intensive care unit.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-90 who need their blood pressure monitored during surgery or in the ICU. It's open to those having elective or emergency surgeries, provided they can understand and sign a consent form beforehand, or have a guardian do so if necessary.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing ViTrack, a noninvasive blood pressure monitor, against the standard invasive method using a radial artery catheter. The goal is to see how well ViTrack compares in accuracy and safety during surgical procedures and intensive care.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While ViTrack should not cause side effects as it's noninvasive, the standard radial artery catheterization may lead to complications like bleeding at the puncture site, infection, or damage to the artery.
