Ultrasound Guided Radial Artery Compression to Assess Blood Pressure

Introduction: We proposed using compression sonography to observe the coaptation and collapse of the radial artery as a surrogate for automated cuff blood pressures (BP). We hypothesize that the pressure required to achieve coaptation and complete collapse of the artery would correlate to the dias...
