First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 300 critically ill adults in the ICU who were receiving drugs to raise their blood pressure. Researchers measured blood pressure at the upper arm and the wrist to see if there was a difference. They wanted to find out how often this difference happens and if it is linked to higher drug doses or poor blood flow to the skin.
