May prompt central pressure monitoring in select post-CPB patients to avoid misguided therapy; leaves open impact on outcomes.
Central-to-radial arterial pressure gradients are common during cardiac surgery and are independently predicted by higher Parsonnet score, longer aortic clamping time, and shorter patient height, suggesting central monitoring should be considered in these high-risk patients.
Fuda et al. (2015) studied this question.
