The Accuracy of Blood Pressure Measurement

Accuracy of blood pressure measurement in the family practice center.

BACKGROUND Equipment, physiologic, and technique factors can influence the accuracy of blood pressure measurement. The current study was designed to isolate certain technique factors and then assess the accuracy of nursing personnel measurements of blood pressure in three residency family practice centers. METHODS An experienced registered nurse was trained in applying the American Heart Asso...

Accuracy of indirect blood pressure measurement in the elderly.

Accuracy of Automated Blood Pressure Measurement in Children

There is a general consensus in the European and American guidelines for pediatric hypertension that children from 3 years of age and older who are seen in a medical setting should have their blood pressure (BP) measured. This is because hypertension in children and adolescents has become an emerging public health issue, with increasing prevalence mainly driven by the obesity epidemic in this p...

Comparison of Various Blood Pressure Measurement Techniques with Standard Office Based Blood Pressure Mesurement

Introduction: In order to control Hypertension, it is necessary to understand the methods of blood pressure measurement. Recent guidelines emphasize on employing appropriate blood pressure measurement techniques and white coat hypertension. Definition and methods of blood pressure measurement have changed in the American guideline based on SPRINT trial (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Tria...

Accuracy of pulse interval timing in ambulatory blood pressure measurement

Blood pressure (BP) monitors rely on pulse detection. Some blood pressure monitors use pulse timings to analyse pulse interval variability for arrhythmia screening, but this assumes that the pulse interval timings detected from BP cuffs are accurate compared with RR intervals derived from ECG. In this study we compared the accuracy of pulse intervals detected using an ambulatory blood pressure ...
