At the beginning of the session, the medical assistants completed a written pretest, including demographic questions. The lesson plan for staff education was adapted from "Measure up, pressure down: Provider toolkit to improve hypertension control," an evidence-based campaign developed with the ...
12 Blood pressure was measured by a single automated reading using an aneroid sphygmomanometer as participants sat with their legs in an uncrossed position, following at least 5 minutes of rest. Participants’ upper arm circumference determined the appropriate cuff size. Plasma glucose was checked ...
The estimated average daily number of call per provider was 6, for a duration of about 5 minutes each. Outcomes Changes in blood pressure during follow-up are depicted in Figure 1. At baseline average SBP was significantly higher among participants in the intervention group as compared with ...
Due to the complexity of current arthroscopic pro- cedures of the upper extremity associated with new technological treatment modali- ties, it will be necessary to set up a compli- cation registry for arthroscopy of the upper extremity. Data collected in this registry will be very useful to ...
Errors in blood pressure measurement can be significantly reduced by consideration and control of sources of error such as inadequate physical setting, equipment failure and poor technician performance. Inadequate setting and equipment failure can be ame

Both methods are used to make possible an automatic adaptation under medical supervision. The statistical analysis of a blood pressure curve leads to a uniform curve in case of an unremarkable patient and could lead to a less frequent measurement in case of constant mean value and smaller spread...

The sensor, which is interfaced with the processor, is configured to detect a current level of activity of the user. The processor is configured to automatically deactivate the alarm if the current level of activity qualifies for deactivating the alarm. The deactivating of the alarm causes the ...
