Aneroid sphygmomanometer

Manufactured by Hill-Rom
Sourced in United States

The Aneroid sphygmomanometer is a medical device used to measure a patient's blood pressure. It operates using a mechanical mechanism without the use of electronic components or a mercury column. The device consists of an inflatable cuff, a dial or digital display, and a pump or bulb to inflate the cuff.

Blood pressures was measured with an aneroid sphygmomanometer (Welch AL) in the sitting position: 3 readings were performed and the average was retained. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) Z Scores were calculated according to the formula proposed by The Fourth Report on the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents [37 (link)]. Roche reagents on a P module of Roche Modular (Basel, Switzerland) were used to assess fasting glucose, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol). An Olympus latex reagent was used on the same P module of a Roche Modular to measure C-reactive protein (CRP). A chimiluminescent assay on Siemens Immulite 2000 (Deerfield, USA) was used to measure fasting insulin. Fibrinogen was assessed on Stago Compact (Asnières sur Seine, France). ELISA kits provided by Mediagnost (Reutlingen, Germany) were used to assess leptin, adiponectin and resistin. We also calculated the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA IR = fasting insulin (μU/ml) × fasting glucose (mmol/l)/22.5] [38 (link)] and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index [QUICKI index = 1/(log fasting insulin in μU/ml + log glucose in mg/dl)] [39 (link)]. Tanner stages were assessed [40 (link), 41 (link)].

The blood pressure measure is going to be done as an indirect form, with an stethoscope (Littmann, St Paul, MN) and aneroid sphygmomanometer (Welch Allyn, Tycos, NY).[42 (link)] The HR is going to be verified using a cardiac monitor Polar (Polar Electro OY, V800, Finland) and its value is going to be obtained through the average of the 5 to 20 minutes of the RR intervals.

Blood pressure was verified in an indirect manner using a stethoscope (Littman, United State) and aneroid sphygmomanometer (WelchAllyn, Germany) (21 ). The cardiac frequency was evaluated with a HR monitor (Polar S810i, Finland).

Pediatric Blood Pressure Measurement

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was measured in a seating position in the right arm after a 10-min rest using an aneroid sphygmomanometer (Welch Allyn, Inc, Skaneateles Falls, New York) and a pediatric appropriately sized cuff. Three measurements were taken with 3-min intervals and the average was used for analysis. BP was classified using the population-based percentiles provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics for height, sex, and age. Elevated blood pressure was defined as systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure values ≥ 90th percentile26 .

Resting Blood Pressure Measurement

Study participants were rested for at least 5 minutes in a seated position with the arm supported at heart level prior to having measurements taken with an aneroid sphygmomanometer (Welch Allyn, NY, USA). Two readings of blood pressure were obtained from each arm and the overall average was recorded in the data entry form.

Cardiovascular Measurements in Children

Blood pressure was measured indirectly using a stethoscope (Littman, Saint Paul, USA) and an aneroid sphygmomanometer (Welch Allyn, New York, USA) on the left arm of the children, following the criteria established by the VI Brazilian Guidelines on Arterial Hypertension [24 ]. HR was captured by means of a frequency meter, Polar S810i (Polar Electro, Kempele, Finland), previously validated for capture of RR intervals, as well as for HRV analysis using the interval series obtained [25 (link),26 (link)].

BMI was calculated as weight/height250 . Waist circumference was measured halfway between the lowest rib margin and the iliac crest at the end of a normal expiration. Blood pressure was obtained while the patient was in a seated position and was considered to be the mean of three readings obtained 5 min apart using an aneroid sphygmomanometer (Welch Allyn Inc.; Skaneateles Falls, NY, USA).

Most clinical-demographic data were obtained from a direct interview performed by experienced physicians. BMI was calculated as weight/height 2 [23] . Waist circumference was measured halfway between the lowest rib margin and the iliac crest at the end of a normal expiration. Blood pressure was obtained while the patient was in a seated position and was considered as the mean of three readings obtained 5 min apart using an aneroid sphygmomanometer (Welch Allyn Inc.; Skaneateles Falls, NY, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
