Blood Pressure Measured on the Arm : Bare Arm Versus a Speleological Suit Sleeve in Patients From 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 on the arm over the clothes of the patient, who cannot be undressed. There is no study proving the reliability of this measurement compared to measurement according to the recommendations (blood pressure cuff). This lack of proof could lead to misinterpretation when measurement conditions are not optimal.
