Abstract: The trial assessed the accuracy of anaesthesia clinicians in estimating an anaesthetised patient’s systolic blood pressure (SBP) by feeling the radial pulse. To credit their accuracy to luck, skill or circumstance, the volunteer medical participants were sequentially randomized to one of four groups: one group given no help (control), the second allowed to feel the pulse, the third given pre- and peri-operative clinical information, the fourth given both. We set out to collect 60 estimates for each group (240 estimates). The accuracy of their estimations was assessed to clinical and statistical significance.
