What is blood pressure?
•
Systolic blood pressure, higher of
the two values, represents the
pressure while the heart contracts to
pump blood to the body
– First appearance of a clear repetitive
sounds (Phase I)
•
Diastolic blood pressure, lower of
the two values, represents the
pressure when the heart relaxes
between beats
– Disappearance of the repetitive
sounds (Phase V)

Interarm differences
• BP measured from the right arm is 2.3/0.5 mmHg
higher than that measured from the left arm
(unpublished findings from 493 subjects aged 25-74
years, The Finrisk 2007 study)
• If reproducible differences greater than 10 mmHg
are observed, the measurements should be done
from the arm with higher readings

15
Three categories of observer error
Rose G et al. Lancet 1965; 1: 673-4.
1. Systematic error that leads to both intraobserver
and interobserver error
2. Terminal digit preference, which results in the
observer rounding of the pressure reading to a digit
of his or her choosing, most often to zero
3. Observer prejudice or bias, whereby the observer
adjust the pressure to meet his or her preconceived
notion of what the pressure should be

Use appropriate cuff size
• A too small cuff overestimates and a too large cuff
underestimates BP
• Optimal size of the cuff: width >40% and length >80% of the
arm circumference
• Finnish guidelines:
– Cuff width 13 cm (arm circumference 26-32 cm)
– Cuff width 15 cm (arm circumference 33-41 cm)
– Cuff width 18 cm (arm circumference > 41 cm)

Summary of the measurement I
• Participant conditions
– Posture: the participant should sit queitly for 5 min
with the cuff around the arm, arm baired and
supported at the level of the heart and the back
resting againts a chair
• Circumstances
– The participant should avoid a heavy meal, smoking,
heavy exercise and drinking caffeine containing
beverages at least within 30 minutes preceding the
reading
– A quiet, warm setting

Summary of the measurement II
• Equipment
– Appropriate cuff size
– Either a mercury, a validated and recently calibrated aneroid or
validated electronic device
– The bell of the stetoscope should be used (avoid excess bell
pressure!)
• Technique
– At least two measurements (3) 1-2 minute apart of each other
– Avoid observer error by training observers in the proper
technique of auscultatory BP measurements (manuals, binaural
stethoscope, audio-tape training methods, video-films etc.)
