Arm and Finger Measurement for Blood Pressure Surveillance

NCT04012151 · Status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 300

Last updated 2024-10-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement is critical in peripartum care. The cuff and bladder sizes affects the accuracy of BP measurement. Current international BP measurement recommendations are based on mid-arm circumference (MAC). However, evidence have shown the discrepancies between these sizes, leading to inaccuracy of BP measurement. This study will measure arm and finger size of 300 parturients in third trimester to determine whether the MAC, finger measurement or body mass index (BMI) is the best clinical predictor for non-standard cuff sizes for BP measurement.

Conditions

  • Hypertension, Pregnancy-Induced

Interventions

OTHER

Physical measurement

Parturients of gestational week \>= 32 weeks will have their arms and fingers measured to generate the conicity index.

OTHER

Cuff size fitting

Fit on arm cuff and finger cuff as selected by investigators based on the measurement.
