Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the reliability of noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) during noncardiac surgeries.
- Patients with the HeartMate 2 (HM2) showed significantly higher chances of having blood pressure monitoring gaps compared to those with HeartMate 3 (HM3), especially with factors like morbid obesity and longer surgery times increasing those gaps.
- The research highlights the need for improved monitoring strategies for patients with LVADs, particularly those with the HM2 model, to ensure better management during surgeries.
