| Abstract: | Oscillometric devices for the non–invasive estimation of blood pressure (BP) have become the “clinical standard” because of training requirements for determination of BP by auscultation, cost, and the phasing–out/banning of mercury in many states and countries. Analysis of recent publications reveals a lack of understanding of the “meaning” of oscillometric blood pressure (OBP) measurements by authors, journal editors, and clinicians. We were invited to submit a review of OBP methodology written for clinicians. We hope that the material contained herein will clarify how clinicians should interpret OBP values for their patients. |
