Background: Accurate blood pressure monitoring is essential in many clinical scenarios for adults and children and, when continuous measurement is critical, necessitates the insertion of an arterial line. A novel continuous non-invasive arterial pressure monitoring device using a pulse contour algorithm (Pulse Decomposition Analysis), Vitalstream™, is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for use in adults. In this study the performance and accuracy of the device compared to intraarterial blood pressure monitoring were assessed in children ages 2-17 undergoing major surgeries.
