Summary
This pilot study tested a new blood pressure monitor (ClearSight HPI) in 34 healthy pregnant women receiving epidural pain relief during labor. The goal was to see if the device helps nurses detect and treat low blood pressure faster than standard monitoring. The study focused on feasibility and ease of use, not on proving the device works better.
