Key result
The Dinamap 8100 overestimated systolic blood pressure by 11 mmHg (95% CI 9-12) and underestimated diastolic by 3 mmHg compared with a mercury sphygmomanometer in children.
Why the study?
Do the Dinamap 8100 and Omron M1 blood pressure monitors provide accurate measurements compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer in children?

Do the Dinamap 8100 and Omron M1 blood pressure monitors provide accurate measurements compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer in children?
Mean Difference: 11 (95% CI 9–12)
Neither the Dinamap 8100 nor the Omron M1 blood pressure monitors meet British Hypertension Society accuracy criteria for clinical use in children.
Barker et al. (2000) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure measurement (n=102). Dinamap 8100 and Omron M1 blood pressure monitors vs. Mercury sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Difference in systolic blood pressure (Dinamap 8100 vs mercury sphygmomanometer) (MD 11 mmHg, 95% CI 9 to 12). The Dinamap 8100 overestimated systolic blood pressure by 11 mmHg (95% CI 9-12) and underestimated diastolic by 3 mmHg compared with a mercury sphygmomanometer in children.
