Summary: This study found a close association between 24-hour mean arterial pressure and major adverse cardiovascular events, with higher 24-hour systolic blood pressure increasing risk and higher 24-hour diastolic blood pressure reducing risk. Using thresholds for 24-hour mean arterial pressure in conjunction with systolic and diastolic blood pressure can refine risk estimates.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between high-definition oscillometry (HDO) measurements taken on the metatarsus or tail base and invasively measured arterial blood pressures in anaesthetised cheetahs. The results showed that HDO measurements taken on the tail base had better agreement with invasive pressures, meeting the validation criteria set by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM).

Summary: This study aims to improve the understanding of arm volume pulsations in oscillometric signals and identify factors affecting the transfer function from arm volume to cuff pressure oscillations. Experimental and numerical modeling results show that typical cuffs exhibit complex behavior, indicating the need for hardware improvement in order to enhance blood pressure measurement accuracy.

Summary: In this study, it was found that NICAP had poor correlation with arterial lines in elderly patients for the whole surgery or during anesthesia induction, and also showed poor comparability in detecting blood pressure change trends with arterial lines. These findings suggest that more accurate calibration and iteration are needed before NICAP can be clinically applied in elderly patients with comorbidities.

Summary: Blood pressure (BP) surrogates, such as pulse transit time (PTT) or pulse arrival time (PAT), have been extensively studied for cuffless, continuous, and accurate BP inference. Current research focuses on advanced calibration procedures using cuff inflation to improve calibration robustness. A model has been developed to infer the relationship between PAT and BP, but further validation and improvements are needed. This work compares the model's behaviors with clinical data and conducts a sensitivity analysis to identify factors influencing cuff-induced vasculature changes.

Summary: This study compared the agreement between invasive and noninvasive measurements of arterial pressure taken at the lower leg, finger, and upper arm. It found that finger measurements were a preferable alternative to upper arm ones when the upper arm was inaccessible. Finger and upper arm measurements were reliable according to ISO standards, while lower leg measurements were not.

Summary: This paper studies arterial deformation under cuff pressure in cuff-based blood pressure measurement using a collapse model, revealing the effects of arterial stiffness on measured blood pressure. The results have implications for improving the accuracy of cuff-based BP measurement in the future.

Summary: The study aims to establish the threshold values of AVI and API for screening increased arterial stiffness in the general population. The results indicate that with appropriate threshold values, AVI and API can be used for preliminary screening, but the values should be adjusted to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Summary: A new approach to estimate aortic systolic blood pressure (aoSBP) without specific devices or complex models has been proposed. The accuracy of estimating invasive aoSBP using the equation aoSBP = MBP2/DBP depends on the method and equation used to determine bMBP levels.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of remimazolam and etomidate on mean arterial pressure (MAP) during tracheal intubation. The results showed that the remimazolam group had lower MAP and higher heart rate, and required more frequent administration of ephedrine compared to the etomidate group. The remimazolam group had a higher incidence of post-induction hypotension (PIHO) during anesthesia induction.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the mean arterial pressure (MAP) gradient between the femoral and radial artery sites in septic shock patients. The results showed that MAP readings were higher at the femoral site than at the radial site, particularly in those receiving a high dose of norepinephrine.

Summary: This study investigated the differences between invasive arterial blood pressure (IABP) and noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurements in critically ill patients with shock, finding that approximately 9% of shock patients had clinically-relevant mean arterial pressure differences. Higher serum lactate levels were associated with a higher likelihood of clinically relevant differences.

Summary: Continuous finger-cuff arterial pressure monitoring helps reduce hypotension within 15 min after starting induction of anesthesia and during noncardiac surgery compared to intermittent oscillometric arterial pressure monitoring.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of a previously developed cattle respiratory rate (RR) sensor for measuring tidal volume (Vt) in calves. The study found that the RR sensor could not accurately measure Vt and technical revisions are needed.

Summary: There is no consensus on the optimal dosing of norepinephrine in septic shock. This retrospective cohort study compared weight-based dosing (WBD) with non-weight-based dosing (non-WBD) to determine if WBD leads to higher norepinephrine doses in achieving goal mean arterial pressure (MAP). The study found that WBD resulted in lower norepinephrine doses at goal MAP and initial norepinephrine dose compared to non-WBD, with no significant differences in achieving goal MAP or time to goal.
