Comparison between an automated and manual sphygmomanometer in a population survey.
BACKGROUND An automated sphygmomanometer, the BpTRU, was used in a blood pressure (BP) survey of 2,551 residents in the province of Ontario. Automated BP readings were compared with measurements taken by a mercury sphygmomanometer under standardized conditions in a random 10% sample. METHODS BP was recorded in 238 individuals in random order using both a standard mercury device and an automat...
متن کاملWhat is the optimal interval between successive home blood pressure readings using an automated oscillometric device?
OBJECTIVES To clarify whether a shorter interval between three successive home blood pressure (HBP) readings (10 s vs. 1 min) taken twice a day gives a better prediction of the average 24-h BP and better patient compliance. DESIGN We enrolled 56 patients from a hypertension clinic (mean age: 60 +/- 14 years; 54% female patients). The study consisted of three clinic visits, with two 4-week per...
متن کاملSimilarity between blood pressure values assessed by auscultatory method with mercury sphygmomanometer and automated oscillometric digital device.
INTRODUCTION One of the biggest challenges in the management of hypertension is adequate blood pressure (BP) control. To achieve this goal, home blood pressure measurement (HBPM) with automated devices has been encouraged. However, part of the medical community still disputes its validity, believing that HBPM may lead to incorrect readings. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correspondence between the...
متن کاملComparison of the Average of Five Readings with Averages from Fewer Readings for Automated Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurement in an Outpatient Clinic
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The optimal number of consecutive measurements for obtaining an average blood pressure (BP) reading in clinical practice is yet undefined by research. This study aimed to compare readings obtained from an average of 5 with averages of 2, 3, and 4, sequential measurements. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Using an automated oscillometric device (BpTRU), BP measurement was conduct...
متن کاملBlood pressure randomized methodology study comparing automatic oscillometric and mercury sphygmomanometer devices: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009-2010.
OBJECTIVES The mercury sphygmomanometer has been the gold standard used for obtaining blood pressure (BP) for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1960 to the present. However, due to environmental concerns and an increased use of automated oscillometric BP devices, NHANES has been exploring an alternative to using the standard mercury sphygmomanometer (mercury) to...
