What are common sources of inaccuracy in the measurement of adult patients resting blood pressure in clinical settings?
Common sources of inaccuracy in the measurement of adult patients resting blood pressure in clinical settings include incorrect sphygmomanometer calibration, incorrect cuff placement, and incorrect measurement technique. Factors such as patient movement during measurement, arm position, and cuff size can also affect the accuracy of the measurement. These issues are discussed in detail in the articles by Turner et al. (2007) and Kallioinen et al. (2017).
