Blood Pressure Measurements in the Newborn

Clinics in Perinatology, 1999
This article reviews the methods of blood pressure measurements, values reported on premature and term infants, and the significant changes in trends and measurements reported with various conditions. Understanding the underlying mechanisms or conditions that may be associated with blood pressure derangements enable the clinician to determine ...

Ambulatory blood pressure measurements

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2001
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has emerged as a valuable clinical and research tool in the assessment of pediatric hypertension. Large databases of 24-hour blood pressure monitorings in healthy children are under development for establishing normal reference values analogous to the Task Force data for casual blood pressure. In the clinical

Accurate blood pressure measurement

Postgraduate Medicine, 1987
The most critical requirement for obtaining accurate blood pressure measurements is that the Korotkoff sounds be loud. Loudness can be enhanced by various techniques of cuff inflation and chest piece placement. The type of manometer, cuff size, and cuff placement are also important factors in obtaining accurate blood pressure readings. Correct systolic

MEASUREMENT OF BLOOD-PRESSURE IN THE LEG

The Lancet, 1967
Abstract Auscultation of the pulses at the ankle has been used for measurement of blood-pressure in the lower limb. Comparative results are given for blood-pressure measured indirectly from the brachial, popliteal, and foot pulses. These demonstrate a direct relation between the blood-pressure at the brachial pulse, and that at the foot pulses.

Errors in the Measurement of Blood Pressure

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1983
Summary: The effect of posture on blood pressure measurement in pregnant and non‐pregnant subjects was studied. In non‐pregnant patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, central blood pressure remained unaltered with a change from the supine to the lateral position.

The blood pressure measurement—revisited

American Heart Journal, 2006
The technique for the measurement of arterial pressure using the Riva-Rocci sphygmomanometer and the Korotokov sounds has been in use for N100 years, and its benefit to medicine and the care of patients has been inestimable. On the high side, the blood pressure (BP) makes the diagnosis of hypertension, assesses cardiovascular (CV) risk, and measures ...

Reproducibility of blood pressure measurements.

Blood pressure monitoring, 1996
Clinic blood pressure readings are less reproducible than 24 h and daytime average ambulatory blood pressures. This may depend on (1) the continuous and spontaneous variability which characterizes daily life blood pressure, (2) the well-known 'white-coat' effect and (3) other methodological problems affecting traditional sphygmomanometric readings ...

Blood Pressure Measuring Methods

IRE Transactions on Bio-Medical Electronics, 1962
Blood pressure can be measured directly or indirectly. While direct methods provide the maximum quantity of reliable information from probes inserted into the blood stream, indirect methods produce much less disturbance to the subject. Indirect methods are based on the adjustment of a known external pressure to equal the vascular pressure. Systolic and

Blood pressure measurment and monitoring

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1992
Recent developments in blood pressure measurement have emphasized recordings taken outside the physician's office. Such readings can recognize the spuriously high levels recorded in "white coat" hypertension. Nocturnal and early morning readings can detect silent complications and impending cardiovascular accidents.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurement and Home Blood Pressure Measurement

2018
Preeclampsia is a combination of high blood pressure and protein urea. Therefore, blood pressure measurements are important because their accuracy is associated with correct diagnosis of preeclampsia. Blood pressure is generally used for diagnosis and treatment and is measured in a medical environment.
