About this study

Official title: Accuracy of the CNAP™ Monitor (Continuous Non-invasive Arterial Pressure) Versus Invasive Radial Arterial Monitoring in Surgical Patients

The purpose of this study was to compare the Continuous Non-invasive Arterial Pressure (CNAP) monitor with the gold standard of invasive arterial pressure monitoring during:

  1. induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia
  2. intensive care unit treatment of postoperative patients with an ASA 3 or 4 status
Read the detailed description

The CNAP monitor continuously measures blood pressure using a finger cuff. It showed a good agreement to invasive blood pressure measurements during anaesthesia induction and maintenance during surgery. In critical ill patients cardiac arrhythmia is probably a confounding factor affecting accuracy and interchangeability of CNAP. As systolic arterial CNAP pressure in comparison to mean pressure shows no statistical interchangeability with invasive measurements, mean pressure should be considered when making therapy decisions.

A problem is the missing standard criterion for comparison of continuously devices with invasive pressure.

Intensive Care treatementASA status 3 or 4 patients with invasive blood pressure measurement on the intensive care unit

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bias and percentage error of CNAP compared with invasive arterial pressure measurement

    Measured: 1.) Induction of general anaesthesia. 2.) Maintanance of general anaesthesia. 3.) Intensive Care Treatement after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Pressure, run by University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bias and percentage error of CNAP compared with invasive arterial pressure measurement (time frame: 1.) Induction of general anaesthesia. 2.) Maintanance of general anaesthesia. 3.) Intensive Care Treatement after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01003665, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Apr 2012.
