TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Invasive Arterial Blood Pressure Monitoring A1 - Spelde, Audrey A1 - Monahan, Christopher A2 - Freeman, Brian S. A2 - Berger, Jeffrey S. Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Arterial cannulation with continuous pressure transduction allows for moment-to-moment monitoring of blood pressure changes. In addition, it permits detection of intraoperative hypotension earlier than indirect monitoring techniques and provides reliable vascular access for blood sampling. Invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring allows pressure monitoring in situations when noninvasive blood pressure monitoring is not possible, such as during nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass. Invasive monitoring also allows for the analysis of arterial pressure waveforms, which can be utilized to better understand clinical scenarios. However, invasive monitoring is not without its disadvantages: it requires technical expertise; it is costly; and it has the potential for serious complications when compared to noninvasive techniques.
