Accuracy of prehospital sphygmomanometers

Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1987
The first requisite for valid blood pressure determination is a correctly calibrated manometer. A total of 125 aneroid sphygmomanometers in prehospital use were calibrated against a mercury manometer standard. A total of 43 (34.4%) aneroid instruments deviated by more than +/- 4 mm Hg tolerance (average of four readings). A deviation of greater than +/-

Coin-Operated Sphygmomanometer

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1981
The use of coin-operated computerized sphygmomanometers has become increasingly popular. In 1978, there were 3,000 located in public places, such as shopping malls, department stores, and drug stores(1). Placement of the computers in noisy areas with high pedestrian traffic and the lack of professional counsel for consumers has aroused some concern ...

Sphygmomanometer Cuff for the Newborn

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1963
SUMMARYA ‘Standard’ cuff of cloth and rubber, specified by the British Standards Institution as suitable for use in the newborn, was found to give readings 4–48 mm. Hg higher than those obtained with a specially constructed ‘plastic’ cuff, whose readings had previously been shown to correspond reasonably well with direct measurements.A newer specimen ...

INACCURACY OF ELECTRONIC SPHYGMOMANOMETERS

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1992
SUMMARY1. Eight electronic sphygmomanometers were purchased locally and evaluated for clinical accuracy during blood pressure recording on volunteer patients.2. Direct comparisons of systolic and diastolic pressure were made in seven devices using a Y‐tube connection to a mercury sphygmomanometer, simultaneous measurements being made by a trained ...
