Pulse contour devices estimate cardiac output (CO) by analysis of an invasive blood pressure (BP) waveform. However, arterial catheters are only employed in the highest risk patients. By contrast, automatic arm cuff devices are used for non-invasive BP monitoring in numerous hospital patients. Furthermore, these devices directly measure cuff pressure oscillations, which are directly related to pulsatile blood volume rather than BP. The hypothesis of this study was that automatic arm cuff devices...
