• Invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring provides direct, continuous, beat-to-beat pressure measurement and waveform analysis. — Effects of modified site for radial artery cannulation on the stability of arterial blood pressure monitoring in patients undergoing elective surgery (MoSRAC): protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• Invasive monitoring is especially important when blood pressure changes rapidly or accurate vasoactive drug titration is needed. — Effects of modified site for radial artery cannulation on the stability of arterial blood pressure monitoring in patients undergoing elective surgery (MoSRAC): protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• Distorted invasive arterial pressure readings can lead to harmful clinical decisions. — Effects of modified site for radial artery cannulation on the stability of arterial blood pressure monitoring in patients undergoing elective surgery (MoSRAC): protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• Underestimated blood pressure caused by partial occlusion or kinking can prompt unnecessary fluid or vasopressor treatment. — Effects of modified site for radial artery cannulation on the stability of arterial blood pressure monitoring in patients undergoing elective surgery (MoSRAC): protocol for a randomised controlled trial
• Invasive arterial monitoring can be the only feasible continuous circulatory assessment method in some patients with severe obesity or limb disability. — Effects of modified site for radial artery cannulation on the stability of arterial blood pressure monitoring in patients undergoing elective surgery (MoSRAC): protocol for a randomised controlled trial
