About

Blood pressure and cardiac output can be measured invasively in pregnant women. Non-invasive monitoring devices are desirable, but until now, no equipment has proven validity. This study aims at validating the non-invasive monitoring device NexFin (second generation Finometer) in pregnant women.

Full description

Validation will be a direct beat-to-beat comparison of data from NexFin and the invasive measurements of blood pressure and calibrated cardiac output as an integrated part of LiDCO Plus. Both comparison of absolute values and the two different devices trending abilities will be analyzed.
