Comparing
Blood Pressure Values Obtained by Two Different Protocols: National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey, 2017–2018
About this report:
Blood
pressure (BP) is traditionally measured using a mercury sphygmomanometer. Given
environmental concerns about mercury, clinical and survey settings are moving
to automated devices with an oscillometric protocol to obtain BP. This report
compares BP measurement using the mercury and oscillometric protocols.
