Cost Effectiveness of the EndoPhys Pressure Sensing Access System vs. Radial A-line for Intra-operative Blood Pressure Monitoring

Cost Effectiveness of the EndoPhys Pressure Sensing Access System vs. Radial A-line for Intra-operative Blood Pressure Monitoring

This study aims to compare the time difference between radial arterial line placement and use of the EndoPhys sheath, as well as, assess the cost effectiveness of the EnoPhys sheath vs. use of a radial arterial line based on device and operating room costs.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All elective neuro endovascular procedures requiring general anesthesia and continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring
• Adequate access to both the radial or femoral artery

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pre-operative identification of contra-indication for radial arterial line placement
• Hemodynamic instability
• Need for continued post-operative invasive blood pressure monitoring
• Failure to obtain informed consent
