Does continuous blood pressure monitoring during surgery prevent organ failure?
NCT ID NCT05496322
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring during surgery could reduce the risk of organ failure after surgery, compared to standard intermittent monitoring. Over 1,200 adults having non-cardiac surgery took part. The main focus was on preventing heart injury and kidney damage in the first week after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that continuous blood pressure monitoring during surgery helps prevent heart and kidney damage afterward.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study, but the results may not show a clear benefit. The approach is still being tested, and individual patient factors can affect outcomes.
