Summary

Inaccurate monitoring of mean arterial pressure (MAP) could lead to improper treatment in the form of excessive fluid infusion or unnecessary vasopressor therapy; therefore, accurate hemodynamic monitoring is crucial in treatment of septic shock.

In critically ill septic patients treated with vasoactive drugs, many studies reported that radial arterial pressure monitoring significantly underestimates central arterial pressure. Insertion of a femoral line allowed a substantial reduction of the infusion rate of vasoactive drugs in these patients. These findings might imply that femoral placement of arterial lines is the gold standard for invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in shock patient.

Our study aimed to determine the difference between radial (peripheral) and femoral (central) arterial pressures measured simultaneously in a group of critically ill patients receiving high dose noradrenaline therapy (≥ 0.1 mcg/kg/min).
