Key result
The Datascope Accutorr Plus passed the adapted IP-ESH validation for blood pressure measurement in children, whereas the Welch-Allyn Vital Sign Monitor and Dinamap Procare-120 failed.
Why the study?
Do the Welch-Allyn Vital Sign Monitor, Dinamap Procare-120, and Datascope Accutorr Plus accurately measure blood pressure compared to an auscultatory mercury sphygmomanometer in children aged 5-15 years?

May warrant preference for Datascope Accutorr Plus in children; leaves open need for prospective validation trials.
Cross-Sectional (n=132)
Do the Welch-Allyn Vital Sign Monitor, Dinamap Procare-120, and Datascope Accutorr Plus accurately measure blood pressure compared to an auscultatory mercury sphygmomanometer in children aged 5-15 years?
The Datascope Accutorr Plus is a valid oscillometric blood pressure device for use in children aged 5-15 years, whereas the Welch-Allyn Vital Sign Monitor and Dinamap Procare-120 did not meet validation criteria.
Wong et al. (2006) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure measurement (n=132). Oscillometric BP devices (Welch-Allyn Vital Sign Monitor, Dinamap Procare-120, Datascope Accutorr Plus) vs. Auscultatory mercury sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Validation according to the adapted International Protocol of European Society of Hypertension. The Datascope Accutorr Plus passed the adapted IP-ESH validation for blood pressure measurement in children, whereas the Welch-Allyn Vital Sign Monitor and Dinamap Procare-120 failed.
