title: Ambulatory blood pressure monitors.
abstract: ABPM automatically records blood pressure at preset intervals over a 24-hour period. By establishing average blood pressure, cases of white-coat hypertension and borderline hypertension can be identified. The use of ABPM is likely to increase in the near future, therefore it is important that nurses become more aware of the technique.
