Errors in assessment of blood pressure: sphygmomanometers and blood pressure cuffs. Abstract Text:

N R Campbell,D W McKay,A Chockalingam,J G Fodor,

This article reviews the current recommendations on equipment when blood pressure is measured by sphygmomanometer. The scientific rationale underlying the current recommendations for selection and maintenance of blood pressure measuring equipment is presented. The errors that can occur when the recommendations are not followed are quantified whenever the data are available. Inadequate assessment and maintenance of equipment often lead to the use of faulty equipment, and as a result errors in the assessment of patients' blood pressure are likely to be common. If followed, the current guidelines for use and maintenance of equipment would remove most of the problems noted. Physicians must ensure that properly maintained and appropriate equipment is used to measure blood pressure.
