Clinicians should interpret Dinamap diastolic readings cautiously; leaves open device accuracy for routine hypertension management in older adults.
Does the Dinamap PRO-100 automated oscillometric device provide accurate blood pressure measurements compared to a standard mercury sphygmomanometer in middle-aged and older persons?
The Dinamap PRO-100 automated blood pressure device correlates well with mercury sphygmomanometers but tends to slightly underestimate diastolic blood pressure and may overestimate systolic blood pressure in older or hypertensive patients.
