Antal O, et al. - Among 71 patients with sepsis and septic shock without comorbidities that could impact hemodynamic parameters, researchers investigated if a clinically important difference exists between the femoral and the radial site of blood pressure measurements and if the femoral-to-radial mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) gradient is affected by vasoactive infusion dose. The investigators assessed the agreement between the two sites of recording in the no-norepinephrine, low-norepinephrine, and high-norepinephrine groups, as well as for the whole group. In these patients, the femoral-to-radial MAP gradient did not rely on norepinephrine infusion rate. For most of these patients, MAP measurement at the two sites was clinically interchangeable.
