About this study

Continuous non-invasive arterial pressure monitoring has the potential to decrease the duration of intraoperative hypotension and hypertension compared to conventional intermittent blood pressure monitoring. Chen et al. demonstrated using continuous non-invasive arterial pressure devices for every hour of surgery it is possible to identify an average of 14 minutes of potentially treatable hypotensive and hypertensive time(12). Whether the ability to detect more hypotension events by continuous non-invasive arterial pressure monitoring use can improve patient outcomes, is still an open research question

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post operative myocardial injury

    The primary outcome will be the proportions of myocardial injury (Definitions: elevation of serum Troponin T (TnT) >= 30 ng/L in the first post-operative week)

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Post operative Acute kidney injury

    Proportions of postoperative AKI (Definition: increase in postoperative serum creatinine concentration during the first 7 postoperative days by more than 1.5-fold or greater than 0.3 mg/dl. Preoperative concentration was defined as the most recent recorded measurement within 30 days before the surgery)

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Post operative death

    Death during postoperative hospital stay

    Measured: 28 day after surgery

  3. Events 30d post surgery

    Any of the following events after surgery: Stroke, Non fatal cardiac arrest, AKI stage 2-3, Sepsis, Death)

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  4. Events 90d post surgery

    Any of the following events after surgery: Stroke, Non fatal cardiac arrest, AKI stage 2-3, Sepsis, Death)

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Non Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring and Intermittent Non Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in people with Blood Pressure Determination and Hemodynamic Monitoring, run by University of Messina at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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?

Post operative myocardial injury (time frame: 1 week). 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 NCT05496322, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Mar 2026.
