Blood PressureNIBP vs IABPNCT00739700
Non-invasive Blood Pressure (BP) Monitoring Compared to A-Line BP Monitoring
An observational study of Blood Pressure, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Blood pressure cuffs (NIBP) are slowly replacing intra-arterial (IABP) measurement as the standard of care in the medical intensive care unit. There is little data to support this clinical normalization of deviance. This study aims to correlate NIBP with IABP. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Accuracy and Precision of Oscillometric Blood Pressure Monitoring in the Arm, Calf and Thighs of Medical ICU Patients When Compared to Invasive Arterial Blood Pressure Monitoring
Blood pressure cuffs (NIBP) are slowly replacing intra-arterial (IABP) measurement as the standard of care in the medical intensive care unit. There is little data to support this clinical normalization of deviance. This study aims to correlate NIBP with IABP.
Read the detailed description
It has become standard practice in inpatient and intensive care settings to monitor systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure by oscillometric technique. Several studies have confirmed the accuracy and precision of the oscillometric technique in ambulatory patients at both the level of the brachial and radial arteries. Multiple clinical research studies have demonstrated that when blood pressures (systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures) determined by non-invasive blood pressure monitors (NIBP) from various manufacturers are compared to direct invasive arterial pressure monitors, the two values are on average within 5 mm Hg of each other. There is limited data in critically ill patients. To date, there are no studies evaluating the accuracy or precision of these devices in intensive care patients for alternative sites (calf, thigh). In addition, there are no large clinical studies evaluating oscillometric NIBP monitoring in a complex medical intensive care population with varying hemodynamics. The goal of this study is to validate the oscillometric technique in measurement of blood pressure in the calf and thigh regions when compared to a gold standard. We may also be able to evaluate more specifically which situations for our patient population the blood pressure will be accurately portrayed as compared with the arterial pressure tracing. It has possible clinical value in either validating non-invasive blood pressure monitoring and eliminating/decreasing the need for invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring. Our hypothesis is that NIBP in the medical intensive care patients is highly variable and not a reliable means of arterial blood pressure monitoring.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| A | There is only one cohort of subjects, the critically ill. The NIBP will be correlated with the IABP in each subject. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Correlation between NIBP and IABP. NIBP is measured in both upper arms, both wrists, both thighs, and both ankles.
Measured: All NIBP's are measured within 10 minutes.

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Correlation between NIBP and IABP. NIBP is measured in both upper arms, both wrists, both thighs, and both ankles. (time frame: All NIBP's are measured within 10 minutes.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00739700, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
