Could a simple cuff replace needles for blood pressure monitoring in the ICU?
NCT ID NCT06895590
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new upper-arm blood pressure cuff (Philips AMC) to see if it can measure blood pressure and fluid needs as accurately as the standard invasive arterial line. About 205 adults having surgery who already need both a cuff and an arterial line will take part. The goal is to see if the cuff can provide reliable readings without the risks of an arterial line.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Philips Advanced Monitoring Cuff (AMC) - a non-invasive upper arm blood pressure cuff
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this cuff could provide a less invasive way to measure blood pressure and fluid needs in surgical ICU patients, potentially reducing the need for arterial lines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage device comparison study, not a treatment trial. The cuff may not match the accuracy of invasive monitoring, and results may not apply to all patient groups.
