Comparison of blood pressure measurement methods in critically ill children.
Blood pressure measurement has been studied by many researchers, resulting in the development of BP measurement recommendations and guidelines for various age groups and clinical situations. Blood pressure measurement in critically ill children has not been studied extensively and requires additional research to validate the efficacy of various BP measurement methods in this unique patient population. In this study, the differences among direct, oscillometric, and doppler blood pressure measurements were compared in twelve critically ill children.
