ClearSight Monitoring
Patients are wearing both a conventional blood pressure cuff and the ClearSight finger cuff blood pressure monitoring system. Only measures from the conventional blood pressure cuff are sent/received by the clinical staff in the central and local nursing and anesthesia staff areas. The ClearSight monitoring system data is collected but not used by the clinical staff team for hypotensive monitoring.
Patients are wearing both a conventional blood pressure cuff and the ClearSight finger cuff blood pressure monitoring system. Measures from BOTH the conventional blood pressure cuff and ClearSight monitoring system are sent/received by the clinical staff in the central and local nursing and anesthesia staff areas. ClearSight monitoring will add additional information regarding hypotensive events for clinical staff to respond to.
