Abstract
BACKGROUND No research has been conducted to compare long-axis in-plane and short-axis out-of-plane techniques for ultrasound-guided posterior tibial artery cannulation in adults. This study compared these two procedures for cannulating the posterior tibial artery. METHODS This prospective randomized trial included 236 adult patients undergoing general anesthesia who required arterial cannulation. The posterior tibial artery was cannulated using either the long-axis in-plane technique (group LAIP) or the short-axis out-of-plane method (group SAOP) with an ultrasound machine. First-attempt cannulation success, the number of cannulation attempts required to achieve successful cannulation, ultrasound localization time, cannulation time, and perioperative complications in these two groups were analyzed. RESULTS The LAIP group demonstrated a significantly higher first-attempt success rate (40.7% vs 18.6%, p < 0.001), shorter ultrasound localization time (36.5 [30, 60] s vs 50 [35, 80] s, p < 0.001), and faster cannulation time (80 [55, 100] s vs 110 [70, 180] s, p < 0.001). LAIP group showed a significantly higher overall success rate (92.4% vs 81.4%, p = 0.012). The median number of cannulation attempts in the LAIP and SAOP groups were 2 [1, 2] and 2 [2, 3], respectively (p < 0.001). Complications were comparable between groups (p = 0.248). CONCLUSIONS The LAIP group demonstrated higher first-attempt and overall success rates compared to the SAOP group for ultrasound-guided posterior tibial artery (PTA) cannulation in adult patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radial artery cannulation is usually done for monitoring invasive blood pressure during intraoperative period. The dynamic needle tip positioning approach allows continuous visualization of the needle tip during ultrasound-guided cannulation. The acoustic shadowing technique, using two lines on the ultrasound probe, might be used to facilitate radial artery puncture. We aimed to compare these two ultrasound-guided techniques of radial artery cannulation with the traditional palpation method in adult patients. METHODS In this trial, 180 adult patients requiring arterial cannulation were randomized into three groups (Traditional palpation (TP), Dynamic needle tip positioning (DNTP), and acoustic shadow technique (AST)). All cannulations were carried out by experienced anesthetists. Data was analyzed for the success rate of arterial cannulation in the first attempt, total number of attempts in 5 min, time taken to cannulate, number of cannulas used, and complications related to the procedure. RESULTS The first attempt success rates among TP, DNTP, and AST were 66.7%, 66.7%, and 71.7%, respectively (p = 0.794). The median time taken for cannulation was 60.5 (37.0, 129.5) s, 71.0 (50.0, 170.0) s, and 108.0 (58.0, 181.0) s, respectively (p = 0.066) and the median number of cannulation attempts was 1, in all the three groups (p = 0.684). There was also no difference in the total number of cannulas used, the overall success rate of cannulation, and complications related to the procedure in the three groups. CONCLUSION The TP, DNTP, and AST technique for radial artery cannulation had comparable first attempt success rate, the time taken for cannulation, the number of cannulas used, and overall complications. We conclude that radial arterial cannulation by palpation, as well as ultrasound-guided DNTP and AST techniques performed by experienced clinicians in hemodynamically stable adult patients are equally advantageous.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure (NIBP) measurement with invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP) measurement in patients with sepsis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the agreement between IBP and NIBP using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Paired blood pressure measurements of mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were compared using Bland-Altman analysis and paired Student's t test. We also focus on the effect of norepinephrine (NE) on the agreement between the two methods and the association between blood pressure and mortality during intensive care unit (ICU) stay. RESULTS A total of 96,673 paired blood pressure measurements from 6060 unique patients were analyzed in the study. In Bland-Altman analysis, the bias (± SD, 95% limits of agreement) was 6.21 mmHg (± 12.05 mmHg, - 17.41 to 29.83 mmHg) for MAP, 0.39 mmHg (± 19.25 mmHg, - 37.34 to 38.12 mmHg) for SBP, and 0.80 mmHg (± 12.92 mmHg, - 24.52 to 26.12 mmHg) for DBP between the two techniques. Similarly, large limits of agreement were shown in different groups of NE doses. NE doses significantly affected the agreement between IBP and NIBP. SBP between the two methods gave an inconsistent assessment of patients' risk of ICU mortality. CONCLUSION IBP and NIBP were not interchangeable in septic patients. Clinicians should be aware that non-invasive MAP was clinically and significantly underestimated invasive MAP.

Abstract
Deviations from normal blood pressure (BP) during general anesthesia have been clearly linked to several adverse outcomes. Measuring BP accurately is therefore critically important for producing excellent outcomes in health care. Normal BP does not necessarily guarantee adequate organ perfusion however and adverse events have occurred even when BP seemed adequate. Invasive blood pressure monitoring has recently evolved beyond merely measuring BP. Arterial line-derived pulse contour analysis is used now to assess both cardiac output and stroke volume variation as indices of adequate intravascular volume. Confirmation of acceptable cardiac output with data derived from invasive intra-arterial catheters has become very important when managing high-risk patients. Newer devices that measure BP continuously and non-invasively in the digital arteries via a finger cuff have also become available. Many clinicians contemplate now if these new devices are ready to replace invasive monitoring with an arterial catheter. Unlike non-invasive devices, intra-arterial catheters allow frequent blood sampling. This makes it possible to assess vital parameters like pH, hemoglobin concentration, ionized calcium, potassium, glucose, and arterial partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide frequently. Non-invasive continuous BP measurement has been found to be unreliable in critically ill patients, the elderly, and patients with calcified arteries. Pulse contour-derived estimates of cardiac output and stroke volume variation have been validated better with data derived from arterial lines than that from the newer finger cuff monitors. Significant advances have been recently made with non-invasive continuous BP monitors. Invasive monitoring with an arterial line however remains the gold standard for measuring BP and assessing pulse contour analysis-derived hemodynamic variables in critically ill patients. In the future, non-invasive continuous BP monitors will likely replace intermittent oscillometers in the operating room and the postoperative period. They will however not eliminate the need for arterial catheterization in critically ill patients.

Abstract
Objective Mercury sphygmomanometer (MS) has now been less and less used and no new devices have been manufactured (according to Minamata convention 2013). The application of the electronic sphygmomanometer (ES) in clinical practice has become increasingly common. However, reliable evidence for the use of the ES in high-altitude areas remains scarce. The purpose of this study was to validate the applicability of the ES in high altitude areas. Methods In Luhuo County, Sichuan Province, China, 3,400 m above the sea level, two trained physicians measured the blood pressure (BP) of participants using both the mercury sphygmomanometer and the ES. Pearson correlation analysis and paired T-test, respectively, were used to compare the correlation and the difference between the BP values measured by the two devices. The applicability of the ES in high-altitude areas was evaluated according to the validation standards of the 2018 Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/European Society of Hypertension/International Organization for Standardization (AAMI/ESH/ISO) Collaboration Statement. Results In this study, 257 participants were included. There was a strong correlation between BP values measured by the two devices, with correlation coefficients for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 0.97 and 0.93, respectively. Compared with the MS, the ES tended to measure the subjects' DBP (76.21 ± 13.29 mmHg vs. 76.53 ± 14.07 mmHg; P = 0.557) accurately, but overestimate the SBP of the subjects (123.32 ± 22.25 mmHg vs. 121.34 ± 22.88 mmHg; P < 0.001) to some extent. The consistency of the two devices in the classification of normal BP, prehypertension, and hypertension was 88.9%, 80.7%, and 89.2%, respectively. Conclusions In general, the utilization of ES at 3,400 m altitude successfully met the validation standards of the AAMI/ESH/ISO Collaboration Statement. The use of ES can be recommended at a high altitude, including up to 3,400 m. In addition, because the ES tended to overestimate SBP, we speculate that it may need to be calibrated in high-altitude areas.

Abstract
Hypertension, a primary risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases, is a global health concern. Early identification and effective management of hypertensive individuals are vital for reducing associated health risks. This study explores the potential of deep learning (DL) techniques, specifically GoogLeNet, ResNet-18, and ResNet-50, for discriminating between normotensive (NTS) and hypertensive (HTS) individuals using photoplethysmographic (PPG) recordings. The research assesses the impact of calibration at different time intervals between measurements, considering intervals less than 1 h, 1-6 h, 6-24 h, and over 24 h. Results indicate that calibration is most effective when measurements are closely spaced, with an accuracy exceeding 90% in all the DL strategies tested. For calibration intervals below 1 h, ResNet-18 achieved the highest accuracy (93.32%), sensitivity (84.09%), specificity (97.30%), and F1-score (88.36%). As the time interval between calibration and test measurements increased, classification performance gradually declined. For intervals exceeding 6 h, accuracy dropped below 81% but with all models maintaining accuracy above 71% even for intervals above 24 h. This study provides valuable insights into the feasibility of using DL for hypertension risk assessment, particularly through PPG recordings. It demonstrates that closely spaced calibration measurements can lead to highly accurate classification, emphasizing the potential for real-time applications. These findings may pave the way for advanced, non-invasive, and continuous blood pressure monitoring methods that are both efficient and reliable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the agreement between direct intra-arterial pressure and ClearSight finger cuff arterial pressure measurements in elderly patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted at Hitachi General Hospital, Japan, involving 30 patients aged 65 years and older who underwent TAVR under general anesthesia. Intra-arterial pressure and finger cuff arterial pressure measurements were recorded for 30 min after valve deployment. Bland-Altman analysis, four-quadrant plot analysis, and error grid analysis were used to assess the concordance between the two methods. Multiple regression analysis was performed to explore potential confounding factors affecting the agreement. RESULTS The bias and precision of ClearSight measurements were -4.88 ± 15.46 (mmHg) for SBP, 4.73 ± 8.95 (mmHg) for mean, and 9.53 ± 9.01 (mmHg) for DBP. The Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated acceptable agreement between intra-arterial pressure and finger cuff arterial pressure measurements. The four-quadrant plot analysis showed good trend-tracking ability, and the error grid analysis revealed that most of the observed values fell into the no-risk category. The mean BP match ratio and SBP match ratio were influenced by several factors such as age, BSA, ejection fraction, valve size, and gender. CONCLUSION The ClearSight finger cuff arterial pressure measurement showed good agreement with direct intra-arterial pressure in elderly patients undergoing TAVR. However, factors such as age, BSA, ejection fraction, valve size, and gender may influence the agreement between the two methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of perioperative hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section using non-invasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring and its correlation with neonatal well-being. METHODS We included 145 patients. Spinal anesthesia was performed with a combination of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% (according to a weight/height scheme) and fentanyl 20 μg. Hypotension was defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg or <60 mmHg. We also evaluated the impact of hypotension on neonatal well-being. RESULTS Perioperative maternal hypotension occurred in 54.5% of cases considering a MAP < 65 mmHg and in 42.1% with the more conservative cut-off (<60 mmHg). Severe neonatal acidosis occurred in 1.4% of neonates, while an Apgar score ≥ 9 was observed in 95.9% at 1 min and 100% at 5 min. CONCLUSIONS Continuous non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring allowed an early detection of maternal hypotension leading to a prompt treatment with satisfactory results considering neonatal well-being.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of oscillometric blood pressure measurement at the ankle in children using invasive blood pressure as reference standard. This prospective observational study included children undergoing noncardiac surgery. Paired radial invasive and ankle non-invasive blood pressure measurements were obtained. Delta blood pressure was calculated as the difference between two consecutive readings. The primary outcome was the mean bias and agreement between the two methods using the Bland-Altman analysis. The ISO standard was fulfilled if the mean bias between the two methods was ≤ 5 ± 8 mmHg. Other outcomes included the trending ability of ankle blood pressure using the four-quadrant plot and the accuracy of ankle measurement to detect hypotension using area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) analysis. We analyzed 683 paired readings from 86 children. The mean bias between the two methods for systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure (SBP, DBP, MAP) was - 7.2 ± 10.7, 4.5 ± 12.8, and - 1.8 ± 8.2 mmHg, respectively. The concordance rate of ankle blood pressure was 72%, 71%, and 77% for delta SBP, DBP and MAP, respectively. The AUC (95% confidence interval) for ankle MAP ability to detect hypotension was 0.91 (0.89-0.93) with negative predictive value of 100% at cut-off value ≤ 70 mmHg, We concluded that in pediatric population undergoing noncardiac surgery, ankle blood pressure was not interchangeable with the corresponding invasive readings with the ankle MAP having the least bias compared to SBP and DBP. An ankle MAP > 70 mmHg can exclude hypotension with negative predictive value of 100%.

[PMID: 37659397 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6579/acf643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
Objective.The auscultatory technique is still considered the most accurate method for non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement, although its reliability depends on operator's skills. Various methods for automated Korotkoff sounds analysis have been proposed for reliable estimation of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures. To this aim, very complex methodologies have been presented, including some based on artificial intelligence (AI). This study proposes a relatively simple methodology, named B3X, to estimate SBP and DBP by processing Korotkoff sounds recordings acquired during an auscultatory NIBP measurement.Approach.The beat-by-beat change in morphology of adjacent Korotkoff sounds is evaluated via their cross-correlation. The time series of the beat-by-beat cross-correlation and its first derivative are analyzed to locate the timings of SBP and DBP values. Extensive tests were performed on a public database of 350 annotated measurements, and the performance was evaluated according to the BHS, AAMI/ANSI, and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) quality standards.Main results.The proposed approach achieved 'A' scores for SBP and DBP in the BHS grading system, and passed the quality tests of AAMI/ANSI and ISO standards. The B3X algorithm outperformed two well-established algorithms for oscillometric NIBP measurement in both SBP and DBP estimation. It also outperformed four AI-based algorithms in DBP estimation, while providing comparable performance for SBP, at the cost of a much lower computational burden. The full code of the B3X algorithm is provided in a public repository.Significance.The very good performances ensured by the proposed B3X algorithm, at a low computational cost and without the need for parameter training, support its direct implementation into clinical blood pressure (BP) monitoring devices. The results of this study pave the way for solving/overcoming the trade-off between the accuracy of the auscultatory technique and the objectivity of oscillatory measurements, by bringing an automated auscultatory BP measurement method in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify the blood pressure variation, which is important in continuous blood pressure monitoring, especially in the case of low blood volume, which is critical for survival. Methods: A pilot study was conducted to identify blood pressure variation with hypovolemia using five Landrace pigs. New multi-dimensional morphological features of Photoplethysmography (PPG) were proposed based on experimental study of hemorrhagic shock in pigs, which were strongly correlated with blood pressure changes. Five machine learning methods were compared to develop the blood pressure variation identification model. Results: Compared with the traditional blood pressure variation identification model with single characteristic based on single period area of PPG, the identification accuracy of mean blood pressure variation based on the proposed multi-feature random forest model in this paper was up to 90%, which was 17% higher than that of the traditional blood pressure variation identification model. Conclusion: By the proposed multi-dimensional features and the identification method, it is more accurate to detect the rapid variation in blood pressure and to adopt corresponding measures. Significance: Rapid and accurate identification of blood pressure variation under low blood volume ultimately has the potential to effectively avoid complications caused by abnormal blood pressure in patients with clinical bleeding trauma.

The purpose of this work was to analyze the current patent situation and identify directions and trends in the application of non-invasive medical sensors for continuous blood pressure monitoring, with a focus on clinical experience in critical care and validation thereof. Materials and methods The research results reflect data collected up to September 30, 2022. Patent databases, Google Scholar, the Lens database, Pubmed, Scopus databases were used to search for patent and clinical information. Results An analysis of the patent landscape indicates a significant increase in interest in the development of non-invasive devices for continuous blood pressure monitoring and their implementation in medical practice, especially in the last 10 years. The key players in the intellectual property market are the following companies: Cnsystems Medizintechnik; Sotera Wireless INC; Tensys Medical INC; Healthstats Int Pte LTD; Edwards Lifesciences Corp, among others. Systematization of data from validation and clinical studies in critical care practice on patients with various pathological conditions and ages, including children and newborns, revealed that a number of non-invasive medical sensor technologies are quite accurate and comparable to the "gold standard" continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring. They are approved by the FDA for medical applications and certified according to ISO 81060-2, ISO 81060-3, and ISO/TS 81060-5. Unregistered and uncertified medical sensors require further clinical trials. Conclusion Non-invasive medical sensors for continuous blood pressure monitoring do not replace, but complement, existing methods of regular blood pressure measurement, and it is expected to see more of these technologies broadly implemented in the practice in the near future.

Abstract
Continuous, noninvasive blood pressure (CNIBP) monitoring provides valuable hemodynamic information that renders detection of the early onset of cardiovascular diseases. Wearable mechano-electric pressure sensors that mount on the skin are promising candidates for monitoring continuous blood pressure (BP) pulse waveforms due to their excellent conformability, simple sensing mechanisms, and convenient signal acquisition. However, it is challenging to acquire high-fidelity BP pulse waveforms since it requires highly sensitive sensors (sensitivity larger than 4 × 10-5 kPa-1 ) that respond linearly with pressure change over a large dynamic range, covering the typical BP range (5-25 kPa). Herein, this work introduces a high-fidelity, iontronic-based tonometric sensor (ITS) with high sensitivity (4.82 kPa-1 ), good linearity (R2 > 0.995), and a large dynamic range (up to 180% output change) over a broad working range (0 to 38 kPa). Additionally, the ITS demonstrates a low limit of detection at 40 Pa, a fast load response time (35 ms) and release time (35 ms), as well as a stable response over 5000 load per release cycles, paving ways for potential applications in human-interface interaction, electronic skins, and robotic haptics. This work further explores the application of the ITS in monitoring real-time, beat-to-beat BP by measuring the brachial and radial pulse waveforms. This work provides a rational design of a wearable pressure sensor with high sensitivity, good linearity, and a large dynamic range for real-time CNIBP monitoring.

Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) is a vital parameter used by clinicians to diagnose issues in the human cardiovascular system. Cuff-based BP devices are currently the standard method for on-the-spot and ambulatory BP measurements. However, cuff-based devices are not comfortable and are not suitable for long-term BP monitoring. Many studies have reported a significant correlation between pulse transit time (PTT) with blood pressure. However, this relation is impacted by many internal and external factors which might lower the accuracy of the PTT method. In this paper, we present a novel hardware system consisting of two custom photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors designed particularly for the estimation of PTT. In addition, a software interface and algorithms have been implemented to perform a real-time assessment of the PTT and other features of interest from signals gathered between the brachial artery and the thumb. A preclinical study has been conducted to validate the system. Five healthy volunteer subjects were tested and the results were then compared with those gathered using a reference device. The analysis reports a mean difference among subjects equal to -3.75±7.28 ms. Moreover, the standard deviation values obtained for each individual showed comparable results with the reference device, proving to be a valuable tool to investigate the factors impacting the BP-PTT relationship.Clinical Relevance- The proposed system proved to be a feasible solution to detect blood volume changes providing good quality signals to be used in the study of BP-PTT relationship.

Abstract
The relationship between sleep dynamics and blood pressure (BP) changes is well established. Moreover, sleep efficiency and wakefulness during sleep (WASO) events have a significant impact on BP dipping. Despite this knowledge, there is limited research on the measurement of sleep dynamics and continuous blood pressure (CBP). This study aims to explore the relationship between sleep efficiency and cardiovascular function indicators such as pulse transit time (PTT), as a biomarker of CBP, and heart rate variability (HRV), measured using wearable sensors. The results of the study conducted on 20 participants at the UConn Health Sleep Disorders Center suggest a strong linear relationship between sleep efficiency and changes in PTT (r2 = 0.8515) and HRV during sleep (r2 = 5886). The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the relationship between sleep dynamics, CBP, and cardiovascular health.

Abstract
ABSTRACT With the accelerated aging society in China, the incidence of biliary surgical diseases in the elderly has increased significantly. The clinical characteristics of these patients indicate that improving treatment outcomes and realizing healthy aging are worthy of attention. How to effectively improve the treatment effect of geriatric biliary surgical diseases has attracted widespread attention. This paper reviews and comments on the hotspots and difficulties of biliary surgery in older patients from six aspects: (1) higher morbidity associated with an aging society, (2) prevention and control of pre-operative risks, (3) extending the indications of laparoscopic surgery, (4) urgent standardization of minimally invasive surgery, (5) precise technological progress in hepatobiliary surgery, and (6) guarantee of peri-operative safety. It is of great significance to fully understand the focus of controversy, actively make use of its favorable factors, and effectively avoid its unfavorable factors, for further improving the therapeutic effects of geriatric biliary surgical diseases, and thus benefits the vast older patients with biliary surgical diseases. Accordingly, a historical record with the highest age of 93 years for laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration has been created by us recently.

Abstract
The biopsychosocial model of challenge and threat (BPS-CT) is a powerful framework linking psychological processes to reliable patterns of cardiovascular responses during motivated performance situations. Specifically, the BPS-CT poses challenge and threat as two motivational states that can emerge in response to a demanding, self-relevant task, where greater challenge arises when perceived resources are higher than demands, and greater threat arises when perceived resources are lower than demands. By identifying unique patterns of physiological responses associated with challenge and threat, respectively, the BPS-CT affords insight into subjective appraisals of resources and demands, and their determinants, during motivated performance situations. Despite its broad utility, lack of familiarity with physiological concepts and difficulty with identifying clear guidelines in the literature are barriers to wider uptake of this approach by behavioral researchers. Our goal is to remove these barriers by providing a comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on conducting an experiment using the challenge and threat model, offering concrete recommendations for those who are new to the method, and serving as a centralized collection of resources for those looking to deepen their understanding. The tutorial spans five parts, covering theoretical introduction, lab setup, data collection, data analysis, and appendices offering additional details about data analysis and equipment. With this, we aim to make challenge and threat research, and the insights it offers, more accessible to researchers throughout the behavioral sciences.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal was to compare Speckle plethysmography (SPG) and Photoplethysmography (PPG) with non-invasive finger Arterial Pressure (fiAP) regarding Pulse Wave Morphology (PWM) and Pulse Arrival Time (PAT). METHODS Healthy volunteers (n = 8) were connected to a Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) monitor providing fiAP pulse wave and PPG from a clinical transmission-mode SpO2 finger clip. Biopac recorded 3-lead ECG. A camera placed at a 25 cm distance recorded a video stream (100 fps) of a finger illuminated by a laser diode at 639 nm. A chest belt (Polar) monitored respiration. All signals were recorded simultaneously during episodes of spontaneous breathing and paced breathing. ANALYSIS Post-processing was performed in Matlab to obtain SPG and analyze the SPG, PPG and fiAP mean absolute deviations (MADs) on PWM, plus PAT modulation. RESULTS Across 2599 beats, the average fiAP MAD with PPG was 0.17 (0-1) and with SPG 0.09 (0-1). PAT derived from ECG-fiAP correlated as follows: 0.65 for ECG-SPG and 0.67 for ECG-PPG. CONCLUSION Compared to the clinical NIBP monitor fiAP reference, PWM from an experimental camera-derived non-contact reflective-mode SPG setup resembled fiAP significantly better than PPG from a simultaneously recorded clinical transmission-mode finger clip. For PAT values, no significant difference was found between ECG-SPG and ECG-PPG compared to ECG-fiAP.

Front Neurol 2022; 13:1032353. [PMID: 36588893 PMCID: PMC9796817 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1032353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Studies of the clinical application of dynamic cerebral autoregulation show considerable variations, and differences in blood pressure devices may be one of the reasons for this variation. Few studies have examined the consistency of invasive and non-invasive arterial blood pressure for evaluating cerebral autoregulation. We attempted to investigate the agreement between invasive and non-invasive blood pressure methods in the assessment of dynamic cerebral autoregulation with transfer function analysis. Methods Continuous cerebral blood flow velocity and continuous invasive and non-invasive arterial blood pressure were simultaneously recorded for 15 min. Transfer function analysis was applied to derive the phase shift, gain and coherence function at all frequency bands from the first 5, 10, and 15 min of the 15-min recordings. The consistency was assessed with Bland-Altman analysis and intraclass correlation coefficient. Results The consistency of invasive and noninvasive blood pressure methods for the assessment of dynamic cerebral autoregulation was poor at 5 min, slightly improved at 10 min, and good at 15 min. The values of the phase shift at the low-frequency band measured by the non-invasive device were higher than those measured with invasive equipment. The coherence function values measured by the invasive technique were higher than the values derived from the non-invasive method. Conclusion Both invasive and non-invasive arterial blood pressure methods have good agreement in evaluating dynamic cerebral autoregulation when the recording duration reaches 15 min. The phase shift values measured with non-invasive techniques are higher than those measured with invasive devices. We recommend selecting the most appropriate blood pressure device to measure cerebral autoregulation based on the disease, purpose, and design.

Cardiol Res 2022; 13:372-379. [PMID: 36660063 PMCID: PMC9822676 DOI: 10.14740/cr1438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The noninvasive TensorTip™ MTX measures blood pressure by interpreting blood diffusion color of the finger skin. In addition to blood pressure, the device is able to measure various vital signs: heart rate, oxygen saturation, stroke volume, and cardiac output. Studies about accuracy and precision thus far available have only been conducted by the manufacturer. The aim of our study was to investigate the accuracy and precision of the TensorTip MTX in comparison to invasive radial artery blood pressure values. Methods Forty-one patients scheduled for elective surgery were enrolled in this study. Placement of the arterial catheter had to be part of the standard of care. Once hemodynamic stable conditions were achieved, blood pressure was measured. Three measurements with the TensorTip MTX were averaged and compared with one invasive blood pressure measurement using Bland-Altman plot and error grid analysis. Results Systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure had a bias of respectively 6.2, -6.9 and 4.4 mm Hg. Corresponding standard deviation were respectively 30.1, 17.0 and 22.2. Calculated percentage errors were 47.6%, 52.9% and 52.3%. Proportional bias was present in all Bland-Altman analyses. Error grid analysis showed 61.0% of systolic blood pressure measurements, and 46.3% of mean blood pressure measurements were in the clinical acceptable zone. Conclusions The TensorTip MTX was not able to reliably measure blood pressure compared to blood pressure obtained with an arterial catheter and therefore, the measurement performance is not clinically acceptable. Moreover, a high malfunction rate makes the device unsuitable for use in perioperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The NICCI system (Getinge, Gothenburg, Sweden) is a new noninvasive haemodynamic monitoring system using a finger sensor. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the performance of the NICCI system to measure blood pressure and pulse pressure variation compared with intra-arterial measurements. DESIGN A prospective method comparison study. SETTING University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany. PATIENTS Forty-seven neurosurgery patients. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We performed a method comparison study in 47 neurosurgery patients to compare NICCI blood pressure measurements (BP NICCI ) with intra-arterial blood pressure measurements (BP ART ) (Bland-Altman analysis, four-quadrant plot, error grid analysis) and NICCI pulse pressure variation measurements (PPV NICCI ) with pulse pressure variation calculated manually from the intra-arterial blood pressure waveform (PPV ART ) (Bland-Altman analysis, predictive agreement, Cohen's kappa). RESULTS The mean of the differences ± standard deviation (95% limits of agreement) between BP NICCI and BP ART was 11 ± 10 mmHg (-8 to 30 mmHg) for mean blood pressure (MBP), 3 ± 12 mmHg (-21 to 26 mmHg) for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 12 ± 10 mmHg (-8 to 31 mmHg) for diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In error grid analysis, 54% of BP NICCI and BP ART MBP measurement pairs were classified as 'no risk', 43% as 'low risk', 3% as 'moderate risk' and 0% as 'significant risk' or 'dangerous risk'. The mean of the differences between PPV NICCI and PPV ART was 1 ± 3% (-4 to 6%). The predictive agreement between PPV NICCI and PPV ART was 80% and Cohen's kappa was 0.55. CONCLUSIONS The absolute agreement between BP NICCI and BP ART was not clinically acceptable. We recommend not using the current version of the NICCI system for blood pressure monitoring during surgery. The absolute agreement between PPV NICCI and PPV ART was clinically acceptable with moderate predictive agreement regarding pulse pressure variation categories. The NICCI system needs to be further developed and re-evaluated when an improved version is available. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00023188) on 2 October 2020.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are interrelated diseases linked to gut dysbiosis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of OSA on the gut microbiome in the context of hypertension and vice versa. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Of 211 consecutively screened patients, 52 completed polysomnography study, medical history questionnaires, and fecal sample collection. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on fecal samples, and diversity, richness, and microbial taxa were analyzed using bioinformatics. RESULTS Alpha diversity showed slightly decreased diversity in OSA and hypertension groups without significant difference, and the hypoxia burden index (HBI) showed a weak positive correlation with Chao1 index (r = 0.342, p < 0.05) in OSA patients. Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratio was higher in patients with than without OSA. In hypertensive patients, those with OSA had higher Ruminococcus_1, Lachnoclostridium, Lachnospira, [Ruminococcus]_torques_group, and unidentified Lachnospiraceae levels than those without OSA. Conversely, in OSA patients, hypertensive patients had lower Faecalibacterium and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group levels. CONCLUSION The present study suggests a possible compensatory mechanism for gut microbiome changes in sleep apnea pathophysiology. The positive correlation between HBI and alpha diversity, and increase in certain genera of Ruminococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae in OSA patients may represent an adaptive response to hypoxia.

Abstract
Aims Design to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to accurately predict the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) waveform using non-invasive signal inputs. Methods and results We randomly sampled training, validation, and testing datasets from a waveform database containing 180 patients with pulmonary atrial catheters (PACs) placed for PAP waves collection. The waveform database consisted of six hemodynamic parameters from bedside monitoring machines, including PAP, artery blood pressure (ABP), central venous pressure (CVP), respiration waveform (RESP), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and electrocardiogram (ECG). We trained a Residual Convolutional Network using a training dataset containing 144 (80%) patients, tuned learning parameters using a validation set including 18 (10%) patients, and tested the performance of the method using 18 (10%) patients, respectively. After comparing all multi-stage algorithms on the testing cohort, the combination of the residual neural network model and wavelet scattering transform data preprocessing method attained the highest coefficient of determination R2 of 90.78% as well as the following other performance metrics and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs): mean square error of 11.55 (10.22–13.5), mean absolute error of 2.42 (2.06–2.85), mean absolute percentage error of 0.91 (0.76–1.13), and explained variance score of 90.87 (85.32–93.31). Conclusion The proposed analytical approach that combines data preprocessing, sampling method, and AI algorithm can precisely predict PAP waveform using three input signals obtained by noninvasive approaches.

Non-Invasive Spectroscopy for Measuring Cerebral Tissue Oxygenation and Metabolism as a Function of Cerebral Perfusion Pressure. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12070667. [PMID: 35888791 PMCID: PMC9323243 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12070667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) measure cerebral hemodynamics, which in turn can be used to assess the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) and cerebral autoregulation (CA). However, current mathematical models for CMRO2 estimation make assumptions that break down for cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP)-induced changes in CA. Here, we performed preclinical experiments with controlled changes in CPP while simultaneously measuring NIRS and DCS at rest. We observed changes in arterial oxygen saturation (~10%) and arterial blood volume (~50%) with CPP, two variables often assumed to be constant in CMRO2 estimations. Hence, we propose a general mathematical model that accounts for these variations when estimating CMRO2 and validate its use for CA monitoring on our experimental data. We observed significant changes in the various oxygenation parameters, including the coupling ratio (CMRO2/blood flow) between regions of autoregulation and dysregulation. Our work provides an appropriate model and preliminary experimental evidence for the use of NIRS- and DCS-based tissue oxygenation and metabolism metrics for non-invasive diagnosis of CA health in CPP-altering neuropathologies.

Abstract
Pulse wave transit time (PWTT) is the time difference between the occurrence of an R-wave on an electrocardiogram and the detection of pulsatile signals on a pulse oximeter, which reflects changes in blood pressure (BP) corresponding to the vessel wall compliance. However, the factors affecting PWTT variability have not been determined. Thus, we investigated the BP changes associated with variations in PWTT and identified the clinical characteristics associated with these variations. Data related to 605 cases of dental procedures performed under intravenous conscious sedation from April 2020 to November 2021 were collected, and 485 cases were enrolled. Heart rate, systolic blood pressure before and after local anesthesia (LA) administration, and crest and trough PWTT waves during LA administration were recorded. Thereafter, PWTT variability was calculated; cases were divided into two groups: large PWTT variability (LPV, n = 357) and small PWTT variability (SPV, n = 128). The index of large PWTT variability could not detect changes in BP. Logistic regression analysis revealed that factors, such as LA use, age, hypertension, and dental treatment phobia were associated with PWTT variability. The use of epinephrine more than 36.25 µg in each LA resulted in PWTT variability of more than 15 ms.

Abstract
Hypertension is an immense challenge in public health. As one of the most prevalent medical conditions worldwide, it is a major cause of premature death. At present, the detection, diagnosis and monitoring of hypertension are subject to several limitations. In this review, we conducted a literature search on blood pressure measurement using only a smartphone, which has the potential to overcome current limitations and thus pave the way for long-term ambulatory blood pressure monitoring on a large scale. Among the 333 articles identified, we included 25 relevant articles over the past decade (November 2011–November 2021) and analyzed the described approaches to the types of underlying data recorded with smartphone sensors, the signal processing techniques applied to construct the desired signals, the features extracted from the constructed signals, and the algorithms used to estimate blood pressure. In addition, we analyzed the validation of the proposed methods against reference blood pressure measurements. We further examined and compared the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Among the 25 articles, 23 propose an approach that requires direct contact between the sensor and the subject and two articles propose a contactless approach based on facial videos. The sample sizes in the identified articles range from three to 3000 subjects, where 8 articles used sample sizes of 85 or more subjects. Furthermore, 10 articles include hypertensive subjects in their participant pools. The methodologies applied for the evaluation of blood pressure measurement accuracy vary considerably among the analyzed articles. There is no consistency regarding the methods for blood pressure data collection and the reference blood pressure measurement and validation. Moreover, no established protocol is currently available for the validation of blood pressure measuring technologies using only a smartphone. We conclude the review with a discussion of the results and with recommendations for future research on the topic.

Abstract
Wearable devices for continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring must be capable of providing a continuous waveform representative of arterial blood pressure. This paper establishes the distinctions in waveform morphology between wearable sensor modalities, specifically millimeter-wave radar and photoplethysmography, when compared to a reference continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitor. An analysis of a 115-subject dataset was conducted to assess waveform suitability. Millimeter-wave radar waveform morphology was found to more closely resemble continuous non-invasive blood pressure than photoplethysmography. Clinical Relevance- This paper compares the waveform morphology and content of signals from wearable sensors in the context of continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring.

Abstract
Blood pressure variability, the variation of blood pressure during a certain period, results from the interaction of hemodynamic, neuronal, humoral, behavioral, and environmental factors. Cerebral autoregulation is impaired in acute cerebrovascular disease. In these patients, increased blood pressure variability may provoke or exacerbate secondary brain injury. In fact, available data showed that increased Blood pressure variability is associated with worse outcomes after acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Consequently, blood pressure variability may represent a usual modifiable therapeutic target. This concept this particularly attractive because reduction of blood pressure variability can be feasible in regions with lower resources and can be applicable to patients with various forms of acute stroke. Prospective studies are needed to further clarify the relationship between blood pressure variability and secondary brain damage, and the determinants of blood pressure variability in different clinical populations. Ultimately, cerebrovascular disease-specific randomized controlled trials aimed at reducing blood pressure variability, irrespective of the absolute blood pressure values, are needed to determine if reduction of blood pressure variability can improve outcomes in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease.

Wearable Blood Pressure Sensing Based on Transmission Coefficient Scattering for Microstrip Patch Antennas. SENSORS 2022; 22:s22113996.

Abstract
Painless, cuffless and continuous blood pressure monitoring sensors provide a more dynamic measure of blood pressure for critical diagnosis or continuous monitoring of hypertensive patients compared to current cuff-based options. To this end, a novel flexible, wearable and miniaturized microstrip patch antenna topology is proposed to measure dynamic blood pressure (BP). The methodology was implemented on a simulated five-layer human tissue arm model created and designed in High-Frequency Simulation Software “HFSS”. The electrical properties of the five-layer human tissue were set at the frequency range (2−3) GHz to comply with clinical/engineering standards. The fabricated patch incorporated on a 0.4 mm epoxy substrate achieved consistency between the simulated and measured reflection coefficient results at flat and bent conditions over the frequency range of 2.3−2.6 GHz. Simulations for a 10 g average specific absorption rate (SAR) based on IEEE-Standard for a human arm at different input powers were also carried out. The safest input power was 50 mW with an acceptable SAR value of 3.89 W/Kg < 4W/Kg. This study also explored a novel method to obtain the pulse transit time (PTT) as an option to measure BP. Pulse transmit time is based on obtaining the time difference between the transmission coefficient scattering waveforms measured between the two pairs of metallic sensors underlying the assumption that brachial arterial geometries are dynamic. Consequently, the proposed model is validated by comparing it to the standard nonlinear Moens and Korteweg model over different artery thickness-radius ratios, showing excellent correlation between 0.76 ± 0.03 and 0.81 ± 0.03 with the systolic and diastolic BP results. The absolute risk of arterial blood pressure increased with the increase in brachial artery thickness-radius ratio. The results of both methods successfully demonstrate how the radius estimates, PTT and pulse wave velocity (PWV), along with electromagnetic (EM) antenna transmission propagation characteristics, can be used to estimate continuous BP non-invasively.

Abstract
Accurate estimation of blood pressure (BP) waveforms is critical for ensuring the safety and proper care of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) and for intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring. Normal cuff-based BP measurements can only provide systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Alternatively, the BP waveform can be used to estimate a variety of other physiological parameters and provides additional information about the patient's health. As a result, various techniques are being proposed for accurately estimating the BP waveforms. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge regarding the BP waveform, three methodologies (pressure-based, ultrasound-based, and deep-learning-based) used in noninvasive BP waveform estimation research and the feasibility of employing these strategies at home as well as in ICUs. Additionally, this article will discuss the physical concepts underlying both invasive and noninvasive BP waveform measurements. We will review historical BP waveform measurements, standard clinical procedures, and more recent innovations in noninvasive BP waveform monitoring. Although the technique has not been validated, it is expected that precise, noninvasive BP waveform estimation will be available in the near future due to its enormous potential.

Abstract
In this work, the authors investigate the cuff-less estimation of continuous BP through pulse transit time (PTT) and heart rate (HR) using regression techniques, which is intended as a first step towards continuous BP estimation with a low error, according to AAMI guidelines. Hypertension (the ‘silent killer’) is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which are the main cause of death worldwide. Its continuous monitoring can offer a valid tool for patient care, as blood pressure (BP) is a significant indicator of health and, using it together with other parameters, such as heart and breath rates, could strongly improve prevention of CVDs. The novelties introduced in this work are represented by the implementation of pre-processing and by the innovative method for features research and features processing to continuously monitor blood pressure in a non-invasive way. Currently, invasive methods are the only reliable methods for continuous monitoring, while non-invasive techniques measure the values every few minutes. The proposed approach can be considered the first step for the integration of these types of algorithms on wearable devices, in particular on those developed for the SINTEC project.

Abstract
Hemodynamic assessment remains the most valuable adjunct to physical examination and laboratory assessment in the diagnosis and management of shock. Through the years, multiple modalities to measure and trend hemodynamic indices have evolved with varying degrees of invasiveness. Pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has long been considered the gold standard of hemodynamic assessment in critically ill patients and in recent years has been shown to improve clinical outcomes among patients in cardiogenic shock. The invasive nature of PAC is often cited as its major limitation and has encouraged development of less invasive technologies. In this review, the authors summarize the literature on the mechanism and validation of several minimally invasive and noninvasive modalities available in the contemporary intensive care unit. They also provide an update on the use of focused bedside echocardiography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypotension post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) causes stent thrombosis and reduced coronary perfusion, which aggravate myocardial ischemia and lead to patient death. Therefore, the accuracy and timeliness of blood pressure monitoring (BPM) are crucial for the nursing of patients post PCI. However, it is still controversial whether invasive blood pressure monitoring (IBPM) or non-invasive blood pressure monitoring (NIBPM) should be used for patients post PCI, and the magnitude of their assistance for patients' recovery remains unclear. METHODS A randomized controlled trial was performed in this study. 126 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients post PCI were recruited and randomly divided into two groups (NIBPM group n = 63; IBPM group n = 63). RESULTS Clinical characteristics and physiological outcomes of participants received different BPM methods were collected and analyzed to compare the effects of these two methods on the nursing of PCI patients. Compared to NIBPM group, IBPM assisted to shorten the time of myocardial ischemia, promote coronary reperfusion, reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease and other complications, and ultimately reduce the mortality of patients post PCI. CONCLUSION The application of IBPM contributed to reduce the occurrence of complications, shorten the time of vascular reperfusion, and guide treatment of clinicians in time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular (CV) disease is still a major cause of excessive morbidity and mortality in patients with active acromegaly, which may be attributed to a high prevalence of associated pro-atherosclerotic risk factors. However, a direct effect of GH/IGF-1 excess on the vasculature has been previously suggested, warranting further investigation. The present study was designed to investigate whether chronic GH/IGF-1 excess is associated with an increased prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with acromegaly. DESIGN We measured carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and assessed carotid plaques by ultrasonography along with classical CV risk factors in 54 acromegaly patients (34 females, 50 ± 12 years and compared those with 62 (42 females, 53 ± 13 years) age-, sex- and CV risk factors- matched controls. In order to compare cIMT measurements between patients and controls we analyzed common carotid artery far wall data as well as a combined measurement result, which consisted of the mean value of the six different measurements, three at each side. RESULTS mean ± SD serum GH and IGF-1 levels were 2.76 ± 4.65 ng/mL and 1.7 ± 1.25 x ULN, respectively, in all acromegaly patients. Age, body mass index, blood pressure, lipid levels, fasting glucose and Framingham's global cardiovascular risk score classification were similar comparing patients and controls. Combined median [IQR] cIMT measurements were similar in acromegaly patients and matched controls (0.59 [0.52-0.66] mm vs. 0.59 [0.52-0.69] mm; P = 0.872) as well as in acromegaly patients with active and controlled disease (0.59 [0.51-0.68] mm vs. 0.60 [0.54-0.68] mm; P = 0.385). No significant correlations were observed between cIMT measurements and GH (Spearman r = 0.1, P = 0.49) or IGF-1 (Spearman r = 0.13, P = 0.37) levels in patients with acromegaly. Carotid atherosclerotic plaques prevalence was similar in patients and controls (26% vs. 32%; P = 0.54) as well as in patients with active and controlled acromegaly (22% vs. 30%; P = 0.537). CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that GH/IGF-1 excess itself is not one of the main drivers of subclinical morphological atherosclerosis changes in patients with acromegaly and that optimal control of acromegaly-associated CV risk factors may preserve vasculature structure even when strict biochemical control is not achieved.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death around the world. To detect and treat heart-related diseases, continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring along with many other parameters are required. Several invasive and non-invasive methods have been developed for this purpose. Most existing methods used in hospitals for continuous monitoring of BP are invasive. On the contrary, cuff-based BP monitoring methods, which can predict systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), cannot be used for continuous monitoring. Several studies attempted to predict BP from non-invasively collectible signals such as photoplethysmograms (PPG) and electrocardiograms (ECG), which can be used for continuous monitoring. In this study, we explored the applicability of autoencoders in predicting BP from PPG and ECG signals. The investigation was carried out on 12,000 instances of 942 patients of the MIMIC-II dataset, and it was found that a very shallow, one-dimensional autoencoder can extract the relevant features to predict the SBP and DBP with state-of-the-art performance on a very large dataset. An independent test set from a portion of the MIMIC-II dataset provided a mean absolute error (MAE) of 2.333 and 0.713 for SBP and DBP, respectively. On an external dataset of 40 subjects, the model trained on the MIMIC-II dataset provided an MAE of 2.728 and 1.166 for SBP and DBP, respectively. For both the cases, the results met British Hypertension Society (BHS) Grade A and surpassed the studies from the current literature.

Abstract
Blood Pressure (BP) is one of the most used measured clinical parameters in health promotion and intervention. BP measures can vary due to different parameters, so we aim to study the intrasession test-retest reliability for an oscillometric method using a digital tensiometer in the Peruvian population aged over 15 with and without a diagnosis of hypertension (HT). Data were taken from the Demographic and Family Health Survey conducted in Peru in 2019. Technicians had to follow a standardized protocol on the conditions to carry out a valid and reliable measurement. Relative reliability was excellent in most cases (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9); absolute reliability was excellent (standard error of measurement < 5%) and smallest real difference < 10% in most cases. The Bland-Altman plot showed a systematic error of 2.36 for systolic BP in men and 2.16 in women, and 0.823 for diastolic BP in men and 0.71 for diastolic BP in women. Results suggest that the oscillometric method with a digital blood pressure monitor was reliable in absolute and relative terms in this population, so it could be used as a reliable control test to measure changes after an intervention.

Abstract
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a key haemodynamic variable monitored in critically ill patients. The advantages of oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement are its easy and fast methodology; however, the accuracy and the precision of this measurement in critically ill patients is constantly debated. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies comparing oscillometric NIBP methods with invasive arterial pressure (IAP) measurements. We included studies of adult critically ill patients, which evaluated MAP in the same patient by both NIBP and IAP at any site. We included only studies comparing simultaneous measurements of arterial pressure by NIBP and IAP, reporting their results using mean difference and SD of agreement. The main outcome was to define the bias of the MAP measured by NIBP over the IAP measurement. The quality of the studies was analysed by the QUADAS 2 tool. Seven studies and 1593 patients were included in the main analysis. The oscillometric NIBP method had a mean value of -1.50 mmHg when compared with IAP (95% CI: -3.34 to 0.35; I2 = 96% for random effects model, P < 0.01). The limits of agreement for MAP varied between -14.6 mmHg and +40.3 mmHg. NIBP had an adequate accuracy regarding MAP measurements by oscillometry. Limits of agreement may thus narrow the clinical applicability in scenarios in which there is a need for a more precise management of blood pressure.

Abstract
Background Wearable continuous monitoring biosensor technologies have the potential to transform postoperative care with early detection of impending clinical deterioration. Objective Our aim was to validate the accuracy of Cloud DX Vitaliti continuous vital signs monitor (CVSM) continuous noninvasive blood pressure (cNIBP) measurements in postsurgical patients. A secondary aim was to examine user acceptance of the Vitaliti CVSM with respect to comfort, ease of application, sustainability of positioning, and aesthetics. Methods Included participants were ≥18 years old and recovering from surgery in a cardiac intensive care unit (ICU). We targeted a maximum recruitment of 80 participants for verification and acceptance testing. We also oversampled to minimize the effect of unforeseen interruptions and other challenges to the study. Validation procedures were according to the International Standards Organization (ISO) 81060-2:2018 standards for wearable, cuffless blood pressure (BP) measuring devices. Baseline BP was determined from the gold-standard ICU arterial catheter. The Vitaliti CVSM was calibrated against the reference arterial catheter. In static (seated in bed) and supine positions, 3 cNIBP measurements, each 30 seconds, were taken for each patient with the Vitaliti CVSM and an invasive arterial catheter. At the conclusion of each test session, captured cNIBP measurements were extracted using MediCollector BEDSIDE data extraction software, and Vitaliti CVSM measurements were extracted to a secure laptop through a cable connection. The errors of these determinations were calculated. Participants were interviewed about device acceptability. Results The validation analysis included data for 20 patients. The average times from calibration to first measurement in the static position and to first measurement in the supine position were 133.85 seconds (2 minutes 14 seconds) and 535.15 seconds (8 minutes 55 seconds), respectively. The overall mean errors of determination for the static position were –0.621 (SD 4.640) mm Hg for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 0.457 (SD 1.675) mm Hg for diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Errors of determination were slightly higher for the supine position, at 2.722 (SD 5.207) mm Hg for SBP and 2.650 (SD 3.221) mm Hg for DBP. The majority rated the Vitaliti CVSM as comfortable. This study was limited to evaluation of the device during a very short validation period after calibration (ie, that commenced within 2 minutes after calibration and lasted for a short duration of time). Conclusions We found that the Cloud DX’s Vitaliti CVSM demonstrated cNIBP measurement in compliance with ISO 81060-2:2018 standards in the context of evaluation that commenced within 2 minutes of device calibration; this device was also well-received by patients in a postsurgical ICU setting. Future studies will examine the accuracy of the Vitaliti CVSM in ambulatory contexts, with attention to assessment over a longer duration and the impact of excessive patient motion on data artifacts and signal quality.

Abstract
The arterial-blood-pressure (ABP) waveform can be monitored by the volume-clamp method. The photoplethysmography (PPG) signal is measured and clamped at maximum arterial compliance (PPGcmax) by controlling the external pressure (EP) with a cuff. PPGcmax is determined by the volume-oscillometric method though ABP measurement is regularly interrupted. To overcome this drawback, the vibrational method superimposes high-frequency vibrations on EP and measures the PPG response to estimate the "vibrational" compliance (Cv) and the PPGcmax. This method, though, has never been validated or implemented simultaneously with the volume-clamp method because the control has always been unstable. We implemented a custom-made device with a novel control system, monitoring stability and adapting the gain at high frequencies, plus lower-amplitude EP vibrations. We compared, in eleven volunteers, the EP at PPGcmax determined by the volume-oscillometric and the vibrational methods. Both exhibited a good linear correlation (r2 >0.92) and Bland-Altman agreement (95% confidence interval <15 mmHg). Moreover, in three volunteers, the vibrational and volume-clamp methods were implemented together while experimentally changing the ABP and/or Cv without manifesting control-system instability. Cv measured with the vibrational method could be used by the volume-clamp method to measure the ABP waveform without any interruptions due to changes in arterial compliance.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) occurs in 20% of haemodialysis treatments, leading to end-organ ischaemia, increased morbidity and mortality; and contributing to poor quality of life for patients. Treatment of IDH is reactive since brachial blood pressure (BP) is recorded only intermittently during haemodialysis, making early detection and prediction of hypotension impossible. Noninvasive continuous BP monitoring would allow earlier detection of IDH and thus support the development of methods for its prediction and consequently prevention. RECENT FINDINGS Noninvasive continuous BP monitoring is not yet part of routine practice in renal dialysis units, with a small number of devices (e.g. finger cuffs) having occasionally been used in research settings. In use, patients frequently report pain or discomfort at measurement sites. Additionally, these devices can be unreliable in patients with reduced blood flow to the digits, often manifest in dialysis patients. All existing methods are sensitive to patient movement.A new method for continuously estimating BP has been developed by monitoring arterial pressure near the arteriovenous fistula which can be achieved without any extraneous monitoring equipment attached to the patient. Additionally, artificial intelligence-based methods for real-time prediction of IDH are currently emerging. SUMMARY Key monitoring technologies and computational methods are emerging to support the development of real-time IDH prediction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accurate measurement of blood pressure (BP) is difficult in obese patients due to their upper arm shape and width. Errors made during BP measurement cause misdiagnosis or lead to wrong treatment. METHOD The data of this methodological study were collected from 40 patients who were 18 years old or above, with a BMI above 25 kg/m2, and who were followed up with radial catheter arterial pressure in adult intensive care and postoperative care units between March and December 2020. RESULTS In total 55% of the participants were male with a mean age of 63.9 years, mean height of 165.7 cm, mean weight of 85.2 kg and mean BMI of 31.0 ± 2.1 kg/m2. Intra-arterial BP (IABP) measurement values were found to be correlated with conical wrapping technique and cylindrical wrapping technique (P < 0.001). As a result, a statistically significance was found between conical SBP and intra-arterial SBP (r = 0.921; P < 0.05) and conical DBP and intra-arterial DBP (r = 0.902; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION It was determined that the SBP and DBP results of the conical wrapping technique were closer to the results obtained by IABP measurements. For this reason, it is more appropriate to measure BP with conical wrapping technique in clinically obese patients.

Imputation of the continuous arterial line blood pressure waveform from non-invasive measurements using deep learning. Sci Rep 2021; 11:15755. [PMID: 34344934 PMCID: PMC8333060 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-94913-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
In two-thirds of intensive care unit (ICU) patients and 90% of surgical patients, arterial blood pressure (ABP) is monitored non-invasively but intermittently using a blood pressure cuff. Since even a few minutes of hypotension increases the risk of mortality and morbidity, for the remaining (high-risk) patients ABP is measured continuously using invasive devices, and derived values are extracted from the recorded waveforms. However, since invasive monitoring is associated with major complications (infection, bleeding, thrombosis), the ideal ABP monitor should be both non-invasive and continuous. With large volumes of high-fidelity physiological waveforms, it may be possible today to impute a physiological waveform from other available signals. Currently, the state-of-the-art approaches for ABP imputation only aim at intermittent systolic and diastolic blood pressure imputation, and there is no method that imputes the continuous ABP waveform. Here, we developed a novel approach to impute the continuous ABP waveform non-invasively using two continuously-monitored waveforms that are currently part of the standard-of-care, the electrocardiogram (ECG) and photo-plethysmogram (PPG), by adapting a deep learning architecture designed for image segmentation. Using over 150,000 min of data collected at two separate health systems from 463 patients, we demonstrate that our model provides a highly accurate prediction of the continuous ABP waveform (root mean square error 5.823 (95% CI 5.806–5.840) mmHg), as well as the derived systolic (mean difference 2.398 ± 5.623 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (mean difference − 2.497 ± 3.785 mmHg) compared to arterial line measurements. Our approach can potentially be used to measure blood pressure continuously and non-invasively for all patients in the acute care setting, without the need for any additional instrumentation beyond the current standard-of-care.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) procedures continue to increase in type and complexity as procedural medicine makes technical advances. Patients presenting for NORA procedures are also older and sicker than ever. Commensurate with the requirements of procedural medicine, anesthetic monitoring must meet the American Society of Anesthesiologists standards for basic monitoring. RECENT FINDINGS There have been improvements in the required monitors that are used for intraoperative patient care. Some of these changes have been with new technologies and others have occurred with software refinements. In addition, specialized monitoring devises have also been introduced into NORA locations (depth of hypnosis, respiratory monitoring, point-of care ultrasound). These additions to the monitoring tools available to the anesthesiologist working in the NORA-environment push the boundaries of procedures which may be accomplished in this setting. SUMMARY NORA procedures constitute a growing percentage of total administered anesthetics. There is no difference in the monitoring standard between that of an anesthetic administered in an operating room and a NORA location. Anesthesiologists in the NORA setting must have the same compendium of monitors available as do their colleagues working in the operating suite.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the evidence regarding the accuracy of continuous non-invasive arterial pressure measurements in adult critical care patients. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Medline, EMBASE, and CINAHL were searched for studies that included adult critical care patients reporting the agreement between continuous non-invasive and invasive arterial pressure measurements. The studies were selected and assessed for risk of bias using the Revised Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool by two independent reviewers. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations approach was used. Pooled estimates of the mean bias and limits of agreement with outer 95% confidence intervals (termed population limits of agreement) were calculated. RESULTS Population limits of agreement for systolic blood pressure were wide, spanning from -36.13 mmHg to 28.28 mmHg (18 studies; 785 participants). Accuracy of diastolic blood pressure measurements was highly inconsistent across studies, resulting in imprecise estimates for the population limits of agreement. Population limits of agreement for mean arterial pressure spanned from -39.96 mmHg to 44.36 mmHg (17 studies; 765 participants). The evidence was rated as very low-quality due to very serious concerns about heterogeneity and imprecision. CONCLUSION Substantial differences in blood pressure were identified between measurements taken from continuous non-invasive and invasive monitoring devices. Clinicians should consider this broad range of uncertainty if using these devices to inform clinical decision-making in critical care.

Protective and therapeutic experience of perioperative safety in extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e26159. [PMID: 34032775 PMCID: PMC8154467 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000026159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
To explore the protective and therapeutic measures of improving perioperative safety in extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases, so as to improve the therapeutic efficacy of surgery. A retrospective case–control study of 412 elderly patients with biliary diseases was carried out from July 2013 to July 2019. Seventy eight cases were divided into the high age (HA) group (≥80 years) and 334 into the middle–low age (MLA) group (60–79 years). In the HA compared with MLA group, 1. Preoperative coexisting diseases: the occurrence of coexisting coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, chronic bronchitis with emphysema, hypoproteinemia, and anemia were significantly increased; 2. Laboratory examinations: function of liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and blood coagulation significantly declined; 3. Surgical procedures: open cholecystectomy with transcystic common bile duct (CBD) exploration significantly higher, while laparoscopic cholecystectomy significantly lower; 4. Operative effects: intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative hospital stay, and length of hospitalization significantly increased or prolonged; 5. Postoperative complications: postoperative respiratory failure, pulmonary infection, anemia and electrolyte disorder significantly increased; 6. Therapeutic outcomes: no significant difference in the therapeutic effects. Although the surgical risk was significantly increased, there was no significant difference in the therapeutic efficacy in the HA compared with MLA group, suggesting that surgical treatment in extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases is safe and feasible. The key is to actively treat preoperative coexisting diseases, strictly adhere to surgical indications, reasonably select surgical procedures, precisely perform the operation, closely monitor and control intraoperative emergencies, timely prevent and treat postoperative complications, so as to improve the perioperative safety of extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases.
