Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurement: Evaluation of the Effect of Wearing a Sleeve and the Type of Measurement Algorithm

NCT06999863 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 75

Summary

For accurate measurements of arterial blood pressure (BP), international guidelines recommend placing the automated oscillometric cuff directly on the bare upper arm. However, for various reasons, cuffs are often applied over a layer of textile. Whether this practice affects the reliability of the readings remains uncertain. Using a rigorous methodology, the CASBA study aims at addressing this issue.

Additionally, two different BP measurement algorithms are available in some oscillometric monitors. To our knowledge, no study has compared the performance of these two algorithms. This study will help determine which oscillometric algorithm should be given priority in intensive care facilities.
