Key result
Automated oscillometric blood pressure readings were higher during hypotension (p<0.001) and lower during hypertension compared with direct arterial and Doppler ultrasound methods.

Do direct arterial and automated oscillometric blood pressure measurements accurately reflect sphygmomanometer/Doppler ultrasound measurements in pediatric intensive care patients?
p-value: p=<0.001
In pediatric intensive care patients, direct arterial blood pressure measurements are more accurate than automated oscillometric readings during hypo- and hypertension when compared to Doppler ultrasound.
Holt et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Pediatric intensive care patients requiring a radial arterial catheter (n=40). Direct arterial and automated oscillometric blood pressure measurements vs. Sphygmomanometer/Doppler ultrasound measurements was evaluated on Accuracy of blood pressure measurements across different methods (p=<0.001). Automated oscillometric blood pressure readings were higher during hypotension (p<0.001) and lower during hypertension compared with direct arterial and Doppler ultrasound methods.
