Clinical Trial
Differences in orthostatic blood pressure changes measured with an oscillometric blood pressure monitor and a mercury sphygmomanometer.
To compare orthostatic blood pressure (BP) changes recorded with the SpaceLabs 90207 BP monitor (SL) and the standard mercury sphygmomanometer (HgS). ⋯ Orthostatic BP falls measured by an automatic oscillometric BP monitor may not be equivalent to those taken with a HgS and their use adds a further variable to the comparison of orthostatic BP changes between studies.
