CTICU Device Study CRUISE

The goal of this study evaluate three novel, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved devices currently used to monitor blood pressure and the amount of blood that the heart pumps during each beat. These devices are the ClearSight (Edwards Life Sciences), CareTaker (CareTaker Medical) and CNAP (CNS Systems). These devices measure blood pressure, how much blood the heart is pumping around the body each minute and on a heartbeat to heartbeat basis and other parameters that can tell the doctor if the patient will benefit from specific treatments. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of these devices. This knowledge will help us understand how investigators can use such non-invasive devices to care for patients at less risk than the devices currently used for such purposes. The main question the study aims to answer is: • What monitor is the most accurate in capturing non-invasive patient data?
