Key result
CNAP monitoring provides continuous blood pressure waveforms, cardiac output, and pulse pressure variation.
Why the study?
Blood pressure is a critical cardiovascular parameter across care areas, and this article describes a continuous non-invasive arterial pressure monitoring method designed for perioperative, critical, and emergency care.

CNAP evolution may enable expanded monitoring; leaves open need for outcome validation before routine use.
Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most important cardiovascular parameters in nearly every care area.A method for continuous non-invasive arterial pressure (CNAP) monitoring is described.CNAP is especially designed for perioperative, critical and emergency care.It concentrates on the clinically important BPinformation such as absolute BP and BP-changes as well as physiological BP-rhythms and BP-waveforms, where other hemodynamic parameters like cardiac output (CO) and dynamic fluid management parameters (e.g.pulse pressure variation PPV) can be derived.For this kind of hemodynamic information, tailor-made mechanisms have been developed.Recent validation studies underline accuracy and clinical acceptance of the CNAP technology.

Fortin et al. (2013) conducted a review in Perioperative, critical, and emergency care requiring arterial blood pressure monitoring. Continuous non-invasive arterial pressure (CNAP) monitoring was evaluated. Continuous non-invasive arterial pressure (CNAP) monitoring provides blood pressure waveforms, cardiac output, and pulse pressure variation for perioperative and critical care.
