Abstract
Blood pressure data may vary by measurement technique. We performed a technological assessment of differences in blood pressure measurement between non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and invasive arterial blood pressure (ABP) in neurocritically ill patients. After IRB approval, a prospective observational study was performed to study differences in systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) values measured by NIBP arm, ABP at level of the phlebostatic axis (ABP heart) and ABP at level of the external auditory meatus (ABP brain) at 30 and 45-degree head of bed elevation (HOB) using repeated measure analysis of covariance and correlation coefficients. Overall, 168 patients were studied with median age of 57â¯Â±â¯15â¯years, were mostly female (57%), with body mass index â¤30 (66%). Twenty-three percent (nâ¯=â¯39) had indwelling intracranial pressure monitors, and 19.7% (nâ¯=â¯33) received vasoactive agents. ABP heart overestimated ABP brain for SBP (11.5â¯Â±â¯2.7â¯mmHg, pâ¯<â¯.001), MAP (mean difference 13.3â¯Â±â¯0.5â¯mmHg, pâ¯<â¯.001) and CPP (13.4â¯Â±â¯3.2â¯mmHg, pâ¯<â¯.001). ABP heart overestimated NIBP arm for SBP (8â¯Â±â¯1.5â¯mmHg, pâ¯<â¯.001), MAP (mean difference 8.6â¯Â±â¯0.8â¯mmHg, pâ¯<â¯.001), and CPP (mean difference 9.8â¯Â±â¯3.2â¯mmHg, pâ¯<â¯.001). Regardless of HOB elevation, ABP heart overestimates MAP compared to ABP brain and NIBP arm. Using ABP heart data overestimates CPP and may be responsible for not achieving SBP, MAP or CPP targets aimed at the brain.
