Does measuring blood pressure over a sleeve or with a rolled-up sleeve alter blood pressure readings compared to a bare arm in adult patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 128.5% vs 128.3%
p-value: p=0.32
Measuring blood pressure over a sleeve or with a rolled-up sleeve does not significantly alter the readings compared to the guideline-recommended bare arm method.
Ki et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure measurement (n=141). Blood pressure measurement over a sleeve or rolled sleeve vs. Bare arm measurement was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) (p=0.32). Blood pressure measurements obtained over a sleeve or with a rolled sleeve showed no significant differences in systolic or diastolic values compared to measurements taken on a bare arm.
