Summary

This observational study looked at 300 critically ill adults in the ICU who were receiving medications to raise blood pressure. Researchers measured blood pressure at the upper arm and wrist to see how often a significant difference occurs and whether it relates to higher medication doses or poor blood flow to the tissues. The goal was to better understand this phenomenon and improve monitoring in sick patients.
