The agreement between oscillometric and intra ‐arterial technique for blood pressure monitoring in the lower extremities for infants and toddlers undergoing aortic coarctation repair

ConclusionThere was a good agreement between oscillometric and invasive blood pressure measurements of lower extremities in infants with isolated CoA statistically. However, the oscillometry‐measured SBP showed a tendency to overestimate the intra‐arterial blood pressure reference, while oscillometry‐measured DBP underestimated its reference. MAP measurement provided the most accurate and reliable results in this study.
