ABSTRACT

We present a comparative study between the conventional Riva-Rocci technique for the non-invasive measurement of blood pressure, and the digital oscilometric device. The objective is to evaluate the oscilometric device in a clinical setting. We present the methodology employed, the results and the statistical analysis, and we conclude that, for this specific device, the repeatability and reliability are not up to the standards in a hospital environment.
