The study 'Development of a new method of continuous noninvasive monitoring of blood pressure from the plethysmograph', held by the Group of Shock, organ dysfunction and Resuscitation (SODIR) at Vall d'Hebron Institute for Research (VHIR) and SabirMedical, presented by Dr. Adolf Ruiz Sanmartin, Dr. Juan Carlos Ruiz Rodriguez, Dr. Jesús Caballero and Dr. Jordi Rello at the XLVI National Congress of Spanish Society of Intensive Care Medicine and Coronary Units (SEMICYUC), which has recently taken place in Bilbao, has been awarded the Second Prize for best oral communication on hemodynamic monitoring. The award, called from the Spanish Foundation of Critically Ill (FEEC), is sponsored by Edwards Lifesciences, and assesses the major clinical trials or experimental hemodynamic monitoring using a system of monitoring cardiovascular function. The prize-winning study outlines the preliminary results on the development of a system for monitoring continuous and non-invasive blood pressure from the plethysmographic waveform analysis obtained by pulse oximetry.
