Blood pressure measurementNewbornNoninvasiveOscillometric methodAim: To compare current practice of cuff size selection for noninvasive blood pressure measurement in a single-centre, tertiary-level neonatal intensive care unit (visual assessment of bladder width/limb length closest to 2/3) with common ...
Blood pressure Synonyms and acronyms: RR (after the inventor of the blood pressure cuff Scipione Riva-Rocci), vascular pressure.Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the circulation of the blood on the vessel walls of the body and lung circulation.1 In everyday medical practice, this is ...
Fig. 1: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) in KIGGS Wave 2. Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) in mm Hg in children and adolescents from the KIGGS Wave 2 (2014–17) according to age group and body mass index (BMI) category. Full size image Fig. 2: Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in KI...
surface. The systolic blood pressure is accepted as the first sound heard and thediastolic blood pressurethe disappearance of sounds completely. Correct cuff size is important for accurate blood pressure recording, with a larger cuff used if the upperarm circumferenceis greater than 33cm”[2, p. ...

Blood pressure was generally measured with mercury manometers. Cuffs of different sizes were variably available, and there was no standard protocol for cuff size choice. There was no special training in BP measurement. For each woman whose records were included, the mean BP in the calendar year...
Various models have been proposed for the estimation of blood pressure (BP) from pulse transit time (PTT). PTT is defined as the time delay of the pressure wave, produced by left ventricular contraction, measured between a proximal and a distal site alon
Measurements of blood pressure were conducted in midmorning. Children were not requested to be fasting. We used the appropriate size of blood pressure cuff based on each child's arm circumference. As a rule, measurements were taken from the upper arm. The subjects were measured in a sitting ...
Further, not only is it able to measure a blood pressure range of 0 – 299 mmHg but its cuff size goes all the way up to 42 cm, which should be able to accommodate just about anybody. It doesn’t stop there – the Omron M7 is also able to measure your blood pressure almost anywhe...
The agreement between direct and indirect (non-invasive) measures of blood pressure is generally also good (69–73). However, the non-invasive technique is more problematic in the VLBW infant as it is more dependent on choice of the appropriate cuff size (74). In the newborn, a cuff ...
