Abstract
Various authors have described many devices for non-electric monitoring of mean arterial blood pressure, being with good results in the various experiments.
For continuous measurement of mean arterial blood pressure, in ten anesthetized patients we also used a similar device (Pressurveil®) to those of Moss and Ramsey, and studied the safety and the accuracy against the results of the electromanometer.
We found that if Pressurveii® would be handled appropriately, this could be safely, usefully, and easily used in clinical situations.
Moreover there was a good correlation between mean arterial blood pressure measured with Pressurveil® and those with electromanometer.
Regression line was Y=0.963X-2.849
