Blood pressure measurement: Blood pressure measurements in addition to the standard care at patients admitted in the Emergency department as follow :
* 3 measurements of blood pressure on a bare arm being the reference value corresponding to the recommendations on taking blood pressure.
* 3 measurements of blood pressure over a speleological (caving) suit sleeve
Study summary
Blood pressure (BP) is an essential physiological parameter for assessing patient condition. In pre-hospital emergency situations it is measured on the arm over the clothes of the patient, who cannot be undressed.
There is no study proving the reliability of this measurement compared to measurement according to the recommendations (blood pressure cuff).
This lack of proof could lead to misinterpretation when measurement conditions are not optimal.
