Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of the winding direction and position of noninvasive blood pressure cuff on blood pressure measurement.Methods A self-control study was conducted in 96 critically ill patients.We placed the sensor ofa sphygmomanometer on brachial artery and the lateral side of the upper arm, then measured blood pressure every 5 minutes in forward and reverse directions,and then documented the readings.Results The systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,and mean blood pressure did not differ significantly among different ( P＞ 0.05 ); multiple comparisons did not show significant differences ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions The winding direction and location of noninvasive blood pressure cuff have no effects on the accuracy of blood measurement by using a ECG monitor. Key words: Blood pressure; Non-invasive blood pressure; Cuff; Oscillation method
