Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The Oscar 2 is an automated device that has been shown to reliably and accurately measure mean pressures in the critically ill patient population. The performance of this device will be examined during aero-medical transportation of 15 patients.
Intervention code [1] 284535 0
Not applicable
Comparator / control treatment
Numeric integrated intra-arterial mean pressures recorded on the patient monitor have been shown to be interchangeable with high fidelity intra-arterial mean pressures, and as such, will be used as the reference standard against which to test Oscar 2 accuracy.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 286805 0
The agreement between invasive (reference) and non-invasive (test device) pressures. Numeric integrated intra-arterial mean pressures recorded on the patient monitor have been shown to be interchangeable with high fidelity intra-arterial mean pressures and will be used as the reference standard against which to test Oscar 2 accuracy.
Timepoint [1] 286805 0
A total of ten paired pressure measurements, invasive (reference) and non-invasive (test device), for each patient during aeromedical transportation
