Comparative measurements of blood pressure simultaneously by oscillatory, auscultatory and palpatory methods. Weiss (Zeit. für Kreislaufforschung, 1928, No. 8)

Abstract

Comparative measurements of blood pressure by oscillatory, auscultatory and palpatory methods made by the author on 37 patients led the author to conclude that the blood pressure measured by oscillatory method is 84% higher than the blood pressure in the same individuals measured by the other two methods, and that in 43% the blood pressure measured by auscultatory method is higher than the blood pressure in the same individuals measured by palpatory method.
