Why the study?
The optimal blood pressure monitoring method in obese surgical patients remains unknown, as arterial catheters carry potential complications and oscillometry provides only intermittent values.
Does finger cuff blood pressure monitoring provide better agreement with intraarterial measurements than oscillometric monitoring in obese patients having bariatric surgery?
Population
90 obese patients having bariatric surgery
Comparison
Finger cuff vs oscillometric (upper arm, forearm, lower leg) vs intraarterial monitoring
Design

Finger cuff monitoring may yield better agreement with intraarterial BP than oscillometry in obese bariatric patients; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation.
Does finger cuff blood pressure monitoring provide better agreement with intraarterial measurements than oscillometric monitoring in obese patients having bariatric surgery?
In obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, finger cuff monitoring provides more accurate continuous blood pressure measurements compared to standard oscillometric methods when referenced against intraarterial lines.
