Blood pressure measurement: arm circumference and cuff size availability.
To avoid inaccurate blood pressure (BP) readings, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends cuff width (CW) encircling 40% of the arm circumference (AC) and cuff length at least 80-100%. This study aimed to identify inpatients AC, the corresponding cuff size and the cuff size availability. In total, 81 AC were measured in the right arm. The cuff sizes to fit them were calculated according...
متن کاملAn adjustable blood pressure cuff to correct errors due to variations in arm circumference.
A well-recognized source of error in the indirect measurement of blood pressure results from using the standard sphygmomanometer cuff for arms of widely different diameters (Pickering, 1955). When the arm is thicker than usual, blood pressure readings are higher than those obtained by direci intra-arterial measurement; when the arm is thinner; the readings are lower. Hence, for correct indirect...

متن کاملLetter to the editor: Applying the blood flow restriction pressure: the elephant in the room.
TO THE EDITOR: We read with interest the article by Spranger et al. (7) in which the authors discussed the exercise pressor reflex in response to blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise. Within, the authors cite an impracticality of standardizing cuff pressure due to differences in cuff width, cuff type, and individual differences between participants. They recommend the effects of a BFR stimulus...
متن کاملArm circumference, shape, and length: how interplaying variables affect blood pressure measurement in obese persons.
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. The World Health Organization projects that by 2015 2.3 billion persons will be overweight (body mass index [BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared], 25-29), and another 700 million will be obese (with BMI ≥ 30). In the United States alone, more than 78 million adults (35.7%) and 12.5 million children and ad...
