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 کاملMid-arm circumference and mid-arm/head circumference ratio in term newborns.
CONTEXT Mid-arm circumference of the newborn is strongly associated with birth weight and is a very good indicator of low and insufficient birth weight. However, there are few Brazilian studies on the relationship between mid-arm and head circumferences and, thus, this does not form part of the routine evaluation for newborns. OBJECTIVES To establish the mid-arm circumference and mid-arm/head...
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...
متن کاملrelation between mid-arm circumference and weight (1994).
the present survey is a correlation study designed to determine extent and type of relation between mid-arm circumference and weight in order to offer a scale for assumption of weight. 390 healthy, adults who are resident in tehran and between the ages 18-65 were selected from visitors at three hospital censers at random. input accumulation was carried out by means of a questionnaire and ...
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...
