  • Title: [ Self measurement of blood pressure. Equipment and comparison of equipment].
    Author: Schubert M, Mengden T, Jeck T, Edmonds D, Vetter W.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1989 Nov 28; 78(48):1343-5. PubMed ID: 2587888.
    Abstract:
    Precision is the primordial criterion for the evaluation of a blood pressure measuring device. While traditionally devices based on the auscultation technique have dominated semiautomatic devices have recently gained acceptance. The latter permit to reduce procedure-related errors. They are simpler to use and require less demanding instruction but are more expensive than stethoscopic devices.
