All trials for Blood Pressure Measurement in Pregnancy All trials of blood pressure measurement
The aim of the study is to examine the variation in blood pressure between an optimal measurement (according to established guidelines in the literature - per guidelines) and a 'common' measurement (used by nursing teams - per common practice) among women of reproductive age with and without hyperte
Accurate blood pressure measurement is a cornerstone of the diagnosis and management of hypertension. The latest Clinical Practice Guidelines (AHA2020- International Society of Hypertension Global) emphasize several important steps for accurate blood pressure measurement, including choosing the correct cuff size, resting for five minutes, sitting with support for the back, feet flat on the floor, and legs uncrossed, and proper arm positioning (i.e., positioning the midpoint of the cuff at heart level with the arm supported on a table or work surface). Sitting measurements are preferred because of the large amount of data linking blood pressure measurements in this position to health outcomes.
