Invasive blood pressure (IBP) measurement might be superior to non-invasive blood pressure measurement in detecting hypotension. The feasibility of IBP in prehospital care for selected patients by specialized rescue teams has been demonstrated. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that the implementation of prehospital IBP measurement is feasible in a German emergency system by emergency teams with limited exposure to critically ill patients.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This single center study was conducted with two emergency physicians vehicles. Indications for IBP measurement were adults requiring airway management, catecholamine therapy or fluid resuscitation. IBP was performed using either direct or Seldinger technique. Physicians recorded the puncture attempts, cannulation sites, and techniques. Patients with IBP attempt were visited the first three days to report complications. Emergency physicians documented a reason if they decided not to perform IBP. Data were analyzed to find operational differences between IBP attempts and no IBP attempts and IBP success and failure.
