Study Notes
Automated Oscillometric Method
- Involves a computer that analyzes the pulse of the artery as the cuff is deflated
Blood Pressure Measurement
- Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is identified as the point of maximum oscillations
Normal Blood Pressure Ranges
- Normal systolic blood pressure range is 90–120 mm Hg
- Normal diastolic blood pressure range is 60–80 mm Hg
Clinical Scenarios
- Significant perturbations in arterial pressure warrant continuous blood pressure monitoring
