Supports noninvasive BP monitoring in select settings; leaves open whether Vasotrac can replace arterial catheters without prospective validation.
Does the Vasotrac noninvasive device accurately measure blood pressure compared to an invasive radial artery catheter in surgical and critically ill patients?
The Vasotrac noninvasive device provides accurate blood pressure and pulse rate measurements comparable to direct radial arterial catheterization in surgical and critically ill patients.
Belani et al. (1999) studied this question.
