Abstract

Background

ClearSight is a noninvasive arterial blood pressure monitor, but it remains unknown whether it is affected by the state of perfusion to the fingers. We investigated whether the lower perfusion index (PI) measured with a pulse oximeter, which reflects finger perfusion, would affect the agreement between arterial pressures measured with ClearSight versus those obtained with an arterial catheter.

Methods

Paired arterial pressure data (ClearSight and arterial catheter-based pressures) and PI values were prospectively obtained from 30 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The primary outcome was standard deviation (SD) of the bias (precision) of blood pressure between ClearSight and arterial catheter. The ratio of the adjusted SD of the bias between PI≤1 and PI>1 was calculated using the linear mixed-effects model. The secondary outcomes were the bias and the limits of agreement (LOA) between the two devices (repeated measures Bland-Altman analysis).

Results

We analyzed 6312 paired data points. The adjusted SD of bias in PI ≤1 compared with those in PI >1 was 1.4-fold (95% confidence interval: 1.3- to 1.4-fold) for systolic arterial pressure, 1.5-fold (95% confidence interval: 1.3- to 1.6-fold) for diastolic arterial pressure, and 1.3-fold (95% confidence interval: 1.2- to 1.5-fold) for mean arterial pressure. The bias (LOA) were as follows: systolic arterial pressure in the PI ≤1 and PI >1 groups, -3.5 (-35.4 to 28.4) mmHg and 2.2 (-19.9 to 24.3) mmHg, respectively; diastolic arterial pressure in the PI ≤1 and PI >1 groups, 13.1 (-5.1 to 31.3) mmHg and 9.0, (-2.6 to 20.6) mmHg, respectively; and mean arterial pressure in the PI ≤1 and PI >1 groups, 8.7 (-11.3 to 28.7) mmHg and 7.6 (-6.2 to 21.3) mmHg, respectively.

Conclusions

PI ≤1 was associated with a large SD of the bias between the devices. The PI value could be a real-time indicator of ClearSight precision.
