Finger cuff may prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during surgery

NCT ID NCT06753097

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

Summary

This study tested whether a continuous finger-cuff blood pressure monitor could reduce episodes of low blood pressure during non-cardiac surgery compared to the standard arm cuff that measures blood pressure every few minutes. The trial included 930 low-to-moderate risk adults having elective surgery. The goal was to see if the continuous monitor helps doctors respond faster to prevent dangerously low blood pressure.
