An interventional study of BP measurement in Blood Pressure, sponsored by Mercy Health Ohio. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-09-05.
Sponsored by Mercy Health Ohio · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
The investigators plan to determine if the sequence of blood pressure measurements from the sitting position to the table and vice versa has an impact on the measurements.
The investigators plan to measure blood pressure (BP) in 30 consecutive individuals presenting to the St. Elizabeth Boardman Family Health Center. The sample will include patients presenting for their scheduled appointment. Following informed consent (see attached informed consent form), the participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In group A, the sequence of BP measurements will be table position (TP) followed by recommended chair position (RCP) and then, after a 30-minutes rest, the BP will be measured again in the reverse sequence, RCP then TP. In group B, the sequence will begin with BP measurements in the RCP then TP, followed by 30-minutes rest and then measurements will be repeated in the reverse order. The assignment of participants to groups A and B will be random. The BP will be measured twice in each of the positions described above, according the the accepted standard technique, using a digital blood pressure monitor, the OMRON HEM-907 XL.
Exclusion Criteria:
record the BP obtained in each patient position
Other: BP measurement
as above
Other: BP measurement
the BP will be measured in the chair position followed by the table position and also in the reverse sequence
Percentage of participants whose blood pressures differ with chair to table versus table to chair positioning
Chair to table versus table to chair positional differences in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures in mm Hg are determined for each participant using an oscillometric device. The percentage of individuals with significant differences in positional blood pressure readings leading to inconsistent blood pressure health status classification will be calculated and reported.
