BACKGROUND Data on blood pressure recorded by oscillometric method is limited. OBJECTIVE To develop simplified tables and charts of blood pressure recorded by oscillometric method in children. DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING Ballabhgarh, Haryana. PARTICIPANTS Healthy school-children. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Blood pressure measured by oscillometric method. RESULTS The study group inclu...

BACKGROUND In morbidly obese patients, oscillometric blood pressure measurements with an upper-arm cuff are often difficult to perform. The alternative method, invasive blood pressure monitoring, can be difficult to place and is associated with risks. A wrist-mounted blood pressure-monitoring device, the Vasotrac, provides accurate blood pressure measurements in lean patients. Even in the obese...

In this paper, the oscillometric waveform measured by automatic non-invasive blood pressure meters (NIBP) is analyzed by transforming the data from the time domain to the frequency domain. The signal’s spectrum of the oscillometric waveform is in current literature badly understood or explored. The only known link between the oscillometric waveform and the blood pressure is the maximum of the o...

Devices measuring blood pressure oscillometrically at the wrist are becoming more and more popular. These devices are small, easy to handle and can measure blood pressure without the need to undress. However, few of the wrist devices have been validated properly, i.e. according to internationally accepted protocols. In this article current literature on wrist blood pressure measuring devices is...

The periodic and frequent measurements of blood pressure for hypertensive patients are must to do their effective and efficient monitoring. Existing non-invasive blood pressure measurement instruments mandate a relaxed posture – it is considered a prerequisite to factor out motion artifacts in the reading – before taking the final reading. This requirement causes not only a great discomfort for...

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 ...
