Accuracy of cuff-less, continuous, and non-invasive blood pressure measurement in 24-h ABPM in children aged 5–17

Purpose Ambulatory, cuff-less blood pressure (BP) measurement devices are a promising trend to alleviate the strains of conventional, cuff-based BP determination. Cuff-less devices circumvent discomfort and nocturnal arousal reactions which can be triggered by cuff inflation from conventional, cuff-...

description Purpose Ambulatory, cuff-less blood pressure (BP) measurement devices are a promising trend to alleviate the strains of conventional, cuff-based BP determination. Cuff-less devices circumvent discomfort and nocturnal arousal reactions which can be triggered by cuff inflation from conventional, cuff-based ambulatory blood pressure measurement devices. Mitigating these discomforts is especially desirable when performing measurement in children. In this study we want to assess the clinical validity of a cuff-less BP measurement device for 24-h measurements in children and adolescents. Materials and methods We compared the simultaneously retrieved BP data of the cuff-less SOMNOtouch NIBP and the cuff-based Mobil-O-Graph in 24-h use in 90 children in the range from 5 to 17 years old. Results A total of 1218 valid measurement pairs showed a mean deviation of 0.99 mmHg (limits of agreement: 21.44/-19.46) for systolic and 3.03 mmHg (limits of agreement: 24.37/−18.31) for diastolic BP values. Patient-specific difference of means was within 15 mmHg in 97.7% (systolic BP) and 93.2% (diastolic BP) patients. 25.6% of nocturnal cuff inflations led to determinable, BP-relevant arousal reactions. Conclusions The SOMNOtouch NIBP demonstrated little measurement deviation of mean BP compared to the cuff-based technique over a broad spectrum of 24-h, ambulatory BP measurements in children and adolescents. Cuff-less blood pressure measurement relieves the issue of nocturnal arousal reactions which are shown to be frequently induced by cuff-based measurements. Driven by these promising results, we encourage ongoing efforts to create enough evidence on cuff-less BP measurement to promote it into broad clinical application.
