Wrist NIBP During Elective Cesarean Delivery

NCT01677234 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 71

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Blood pressure is typically measured with a non-invasive cuff placed on the upper arm. This cuff cannot take accurate measurements when the patient's arm is moving. Anesthesia for a cesarean delivery frequently causes the patient to shiver and their arm to shake, and sometimes to the extent that blood pressure cannot be measured. A cuff placed on the wrist may be more effective when a patient is shivering because their lower arm moves less and can be more easily stabilized. We will be taking simultaneous blood pressure measurements both just before and during cesarean deliveries in order to compare blood pressure at the upper arm versus the wrist.
