Comparative StudyUse of radial arterial tonometric continuous blood pressure measurement in cardiovascular reactivity studies.
Non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring has, for the past decade, been performed using the Finapres monitor. Radial tonometry is a new methodology for measuring non-invasive beat-to-beat blood pressure. This technique has been evaluated for other applications, but its use in cardiovascular reactivity testing has not yet been reported. ⋯ Radial tonometric continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring with the Colin Pilot was associated with a low artifact rating and high accuracy of blood pressure measurement during reactivity testing.
