Finger sensor vs. arm cuff: which matches the gold standard best?

NCT ID NCT06602089

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

Summary

This study compared two non-invasive blood pressure methods—a finger sensor and a standard arm cuff—against the most accurate method, an arterial line, in 80 patients having non-cardiac surgery. The goal was to see which non-invasive method agrees more closely with the arterial line. Results will help guide which technique is best for monitoring blood pressure during surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If finger-sensor monitoring proves accurate, it could offer a less invasive way to track blood pressure during surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
