A disposable blood pressure cuff. An assessment of its accuracy
1990
Summary
An empty 500-ml infusion bag was used as the cuff for a Lifestat 100 oscillotonometer. The systolic and mean blood pressures obtained in 40 subjects were not significantly different from those measured with a standard cuff. The diastolic pressure was unrelated between the two cuffs. The empty bag is a cheap and hygienic option in patients who present a high infection risk.
