Abstract
Background: Arterial blood pressure (ABP) is essential to provide adequate perfusion pressure and blood flow to tissues. Usually, ABP is tightly controlled through a variety of complex physiological mechanisms, and significant deviation of ABP from normal may result in end-organ damage. Measurement of ABP is relatively straightforward and can be used to assess cardiovascular function and guide therapeutic decisions. Challenges in the interpretation of ABP may arise due to individual patient factors and may be dependent on the method of measurement.
Aim of the article: This article is the first in a two-part series and aims to review the physiology and measurement of arterial blood pressure in small animal practice. The second article, to be published in a subsequent issue of In Practice, will focus on the pathophysiology of hypotension and the options for treatment.
期刊介绍:
In Practice is published 10 times a year and provides continuing educational material for veterinary practitioners. It includes clinical articles, written by experts in their field and covering all species, providing a regular update on clinical developments, and articles on veterinary practice management. All articles are peer-reviewed. First published in 1979, it now provides an extensive archive of clinical review articles.
In Practice is produced in conjunction with Vet Record, the official journal of the British Veterinary Association (BVA). It is published on behalf of the BVA by BMJ Group.
