Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Summary

This study tested how well blood pressure cuffs work on the upper arm, forearm, thigh, and lower leg compared to a standard arterial line. Researchers measured 84 adults during planned surgery. The goal was to see if other sites give accurate readings when the upper arm can't be used.

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 successful, this could help doctors use blood pressure cuffs on other body parts when the upper arm is not available, making monitoring easier.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study in surgery patients, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test a treatment or change care directly.
