Wrist measuring Automatic Portable Blood Pressure Monitor?
Posted by: | CommentsI am a doctor and have traditionally worked with BP instruments that measure BP from arm and not from wrist. If anyone has worked on these new wrist based BP monitors, then please tell me if they are accurate and reliable or not. If yes, what principle do they use for measurement?
The funda for measuring it is not in-line with heart but the arm is supposed to be at the level of the heart.
SO the person who does high maths can take a jump. Pressure, mind you, varies with height 
I wanted to know if Karatkoff’s principle is applicable on wrist Sphygs or not coz i am not sure if it does obliterate radial artery completely and even if it does, ulnar artery will rush in more blood because it is un-obliterable.
