Patient-Specific Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurement: Validation for Accuracy and Repeatability
Key result
A patient-specific oscillometric blood pressure measurement method had precision errors of 6.3-7.6 mmHg, which were 29% lower than a standard office device in subjects with high pulse pressure.

Liu et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Cardiac catheterization patients and normal adults (n=145). Patient-specific oscillometric blood pressure measurement method vs. Standard office device was evaluated on Precision errors for all BP levels. A patient-specific oscillometric blood pressure measurement method had precision errors of 6.3-7.6 mmHg, which were 29% lower than a standard office device in subjects with high pulse pressure.
