Blood Pressure Measured on the Arm With Different Layers of Clothing Versus on the Bare Arm in Patients at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital
Sponsor: University Hospital, Grenoble
Summary
Blood pressure (BP) is an essential physiological parameter for assessing patient condition. In pre-hospital emergency situations it is measured at the arm over the patient's clothing when the patient cannot be undressed. However there is no study proving the reliability of this measurement compared to measurement according to recommendations (blood pressure cuff). This lack of proof could lead to misinterpretation when measurement conditions are not optimal.
