Comparing oscillometric non-invasive and invasive intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring in term neonates under general anesthesia: A retrospective study.
Oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure and/or invasive intra-arterial blood pressure are commonly used to measure the systolic, diastolic, and mean components of blood pressure. Agreement between the two methods has been reported in adults, children, and infants, but rarely in neonates, especially under general anesthesia. ⋯ Based on the bias and percentage error, the mean blood pressure exhibited the most acceptable agreement between oscillometric noninvasive and invasive intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring in term neonates under general anesthesia. However, during hypertension or hypotension, there was a large discrepancy between the two methods.
