Comparison of a continuous noninvasive arterial pressure device with invasive measurements in cardiovascular postsurgical intensive care patients: A prospective observational study

CONCLUSIONCNAP showed acceptable agreement defined by the ATI with invasive measurements for MAP and partially for DAP, but there was considerable variability for SAP. MAP should be preferred for clinical decision making. Cardiac arrhythmia, in contrast to catecholamine dosage or weaning procedures, impaired the accuracy, agreement and interchangeability of CNAP.
