description Abstract Background Non-Invasive Continuous Arterial Pressure system (NICAP) allows continuous monitoring, timely detection of hypotension, and avoiding risks from invasive procedures. A previous study showed good comparability of NICAP with arterial line in people with no evidence of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate whether NICAP could be accurately applied to elderly patients. Methods In this single-centered observational study, forty-one patients above 65 undergoing elective surgeries requiring artery catheterizations were enrolled from July 17, 2020, to June 25, 2021. Radial artery cannulation and NICAP monitoring were started before anesthesia. Blood pressure during the anesthesia induction and the whole surgery, trend of blood pressure changes, time needed for establishing continuous monitoring, and complications were recorded. Results A total of 6751 valid pairs of blood pressure measurements were analyzed. In the Bland-Altman analysis, the arithmetic means for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure were 2.2, 3.3, and 2.8 mmHg, respectively. NICAP and arterial line correlation coefficients for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure were 0.49, 0.33, and 0.45, respectively. In the trending analysis, the polar concordance rates at 30 degrees were 70.9% for systolic, 67.7% for diastolic, and 69.3% for mean arterial blood pressure. During the anesthesia induction, the arithmetic means for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure in the Bland-Altman analysis were 1.7, -0.2, and 0.5 mmHg, respectively. NICAP and arterial line correlation coefficients for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure were 0.78, 0.61 and 0.75, respectively. No severe complications occurred. Conclusions NICAP has a poor correlation with the arterial line in elderly patients for the whole surgery or during anesthesia induction. Moreover, it showed poor comparability in the detection of blood pressure change trends with arterial lines. Our findings suggest that NICAP might not be sufficiently accurate to be applied clinically in elderly patients with comorbidities. More accurate calibration and iteration are needed.
