Abstract
To assess the accuracy of the Microlife WatchBP O3 upper-arm, oscillometric blood pressure (BP) device, suitable for clinic, home, and ambulatory use, in a pregnant population. This device was assessed according to the ISO 81060-2:2018 protocol in 45 pregnant women, including women with gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia. Two cuff sizes were available for arm circumferences of 22-32 and 32-42 cm. Nine sequential same-arm measurements were obtained from each participant, alternating between the test device and auscultation. Forty-nine women were included, and four were excluded. Data from 45 women, including 14 women with gestational hypertension and 15 women with pre-eclampsia, were analyzed according to the protocol. The mean difference with SDs were 0.6 ± 7.9 mmHg for SBP and 3.4 ± 6.0 mmHg for DBP. The Microlife WatchBP O3 upper-arm, oscillometric BP device passed the criteria of the ISO 81060-2:2018 standard in normotensive pregnant women, women with gestational hypertension, and women with pre-eclampsia.
期刊介绍:
Blood Pressure Monitoring is devoted to original research in blood pressure measurement and blood pressure variability. It includes device technology, analytical methodology of blood pressure over time and its variability, clinical trials - including, but not limited to, pharmacology - involving blood pressure monitoring, blood pressure reactivity, patient evaluation, and outcomes and effectiveness research.
This innovative journal contains papers dealing with all aspects of manual, automated, and ambulatory monitoring. Basic and clinical science papers are considered although the emphasis is on clinical medicine.
Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
