Key result
Measuring blood pressure with the manometer's cuff over a sleeved arm did not differ significantly from non-sleeved arm measurements in hypertensive patients.
Why the study?
Does measuring blood pressure over a sleeved arm alter blood pressure readings compared to a bare arm in hypertensive patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=258)
Single-blind
Does measuring blood pressure over a sleeved arm alter blood pressure readings compared to a bare arm in hypertensive patients?
Measuring blood pressure over a sleeved arm provides equivalent readings to a bare arm in hypertensive patients, offering a practical, time-saving, and patient-friendly approach in clinical settings.

May support sleeved-arm BP measurement in hypertensive patients; leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
Pınar et al. (2010) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=258). Blood pressure measurement over sleeved arm vs. Blood pressure measurement on non-sleeved arm was evaluated on Blood pressure readings. Measuring blood pressure with the manometer's cuff over a sleeved arm did not differ significantly from non-sleeved arm measurements in hypertensive patients.
