Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in Critically Ill Adults?
REBEL EM
FEBRUARY 8, 2024
Background: Patients with shock frequently present with hypotension. Many of these patients are started on vasopressor and inopressor medications to assist in efforts to normalize blood pressure to help improve organ perfusion. In shocky patients, arterial lines are often used to monitor hemodynamic parameters and inform treatment decisions. However, there is limited data on the benefit of invasive blood pressure monitoring over non-invasive blood pressure monitoring.
