Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective observational study to investigate if a non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device, the CareTaker Pulse Decomposition Analysis (PDA), can accurately measure blood pressure in children when compared to an arterial line. Enrolled patients will have the CareTaker PDA device placed on their finger during their operation to collect data for 30 minutes. Blood pressure readings from the CareTaker PDA device will be compared to measurements from the patient's indwelling arterial line, which will be placed as part of the patient's clinical care plan.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Plan to receive an invasive arterial blood pressure monitor as part of their anesthesia care plan at the BCH Longwood campus
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with vascular or congenital heart disease known to affect large and small arteries
- •Patients who declined to participate.
Arms & Interventions
All Enrolled Patients
Patients will wear the Caretaker Pulse Decomposition Analysis (PDA) Device, which will record the patient's blood pressure.
Intervention: CareTaker PDA Device
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Blood Pressure Comparison
Time Frame: One hour during procedure
The accuracy of blood pressure measurements taken from the non-invasive blood pressure device will be compared to measurements taken from the patient's indwelling arterial line, which will be place as part of standard of care.
