Implication

The 'obese' cuff provides a more accurate estimate of diastolic intra-arterial pressure than the standard cuff in adults, making it more appropriate for routine blood pressure measurement.

Structured PICO

Does an 'obese' blood pressure cuff provide a more accurate estimate of intra-arterial pressure compared to a 'standard' cuff in adults?

P
Population
53 patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography (35 males, 18 females, aged 36–79 years)
I
Intervention
Indirect blood pressure measurement using an 'obese' cuff (bladder measuring 39 x 15 cm)
C
Comparator
Indirect blood pressure measurement using a 'standard' cuff (bladder measuring 23 x 12 cm)
O
Outcome
Difference between indirect blood pressure measurement and simultaneously measured femoral intra-arterial pressuresurrogate

The 'obese' cuff provides a more accurate estimate of diastolic intra-arterial pressure than the standard cuff in adults, making it more appropriate for routine blood pressure measurement.
