Brachial monitoring may approximate central pressures more closely post-CPB than radial; leaves open whether adoption improves outcomes in CABG.
Does brachial arterial pressure monitoring provide more accurate and reliable readings compared to radial arterial pressure monitoring in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery?
Brachial artery pressure monitoring is more accurate and reliable than radial artery pressure monitoring when compared to central aortic pressure in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
