Key result
Oscillometric devices measured systolic arterial blood pressure significantly higher than Doppler devices in conscious cats, with mode B showing a bias of +15.72 mmHg (P<0.001).
Why the study?
Do oscillometric devices provide comparable blood pressure measurements to Doppler ultrasonic devices in conscious cats?
Comparison
Doppler vs oscillometric (PetMAP+) blood pressure measurement modes A and B
Design
Comparative cross-over study using devices alternately as the first device

Do oscillometric devices provide comparable blood pressure measurements to Doppler ultrasonic devices in conscious cats?
Mean Difference: 15.72
p-value: p=<0.001
Doppler and oscillometric blood pressure devices cannot be used interchangeably in cats, necessitating methodology-specific reference intervals.
Černá et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure measurement in conscious cats (n=18). Oscillometric device (PetMAP+) vs. Doppler ultrasonic device was evaluated on Systolic arterial blood pressure (SAP) (bias +15.72 mmHg, p=<0.001). Oscillometric devices measured systolic arterial blood pressure significantly higher than Doppler devices in conscious cats, with mode B showing a bias of +15.72 mmHg (P<0.001).
