Why the study?
Does average blood pressure differ when measured by a converted electronic sphygmomanometer compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer in adults?
Does average blood pressure differ when measured by a converted electronic sphygmomanometer compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer in adults?
Blood pressure measurements differ between mercury and converted electronic sphygmomanometers, although demographic trends in blood pressure remain consistent regardless of the device used.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
BP readings differ by device; leaves open whether converted electronic sphygmomanometers require device-specific validation before clinical use.
Yu et al. (2017) studied this question.
