May support 30-60 mmHg cuff pressures for plethysmography in healthy adults; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before broader adoption.
What is the optimal venous occlusion pressure to achieve the highest arterial inflow measurement by plethysmography in healthy individuals?
Venous cuff pressures ranging from 30 mmHg up to diastolic blood pressure are recommended to accurately measure arterial inflow by venous occlusion plethysmography.
