| Abstract |
|
We campared radial and femoral arterial blood pressure in 20 patients, ranging in age from 1-27 years, during and after cardiopulmonary bypass for repair of congenital heart disease. Differences in systolic arterial pressure, mean arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure were measured between femoral and radial artery pressure at specfied time (30 min after induction, 10 min after rewarming, 10 min after aortic declamping, 30 min after aortic declamping).
This study failed to demonstrate the overt inaccuracy of radial arterial pressure measurement during cardiopulmonary bypass, but we could find the tendency that radial artery pressure may be measured inconsistently during and after cardiopulmonary bypass and altered peripheral resistance may contribute to this inconsistency. |
| Key Words:
Radial artery pressure; Cardiopulmonary bypass |
