Abstract
Introduction: Before we abandon the use of mercury sphygmomanometer in medical practice, it is crucial to confirm the accuracy of automated oscillometric devices. However different validation protocols have been introduced, they propose procedures which are carried out at rest only. Aim of study: To determine whether a simple postural challenge caused by a head-up tilt test affects the accuracy of Omron HEM705CP (Osc). It was tested against the auscultatory method and standard mercury sphygmomanometer (Ref). Materials and methods: Fifty five young healthy volunteers had their blood pressure (BP) measured simultaneously by Osc and Ref at rest (minutes 3 and 5) and in standing position on tilt-table (minutes 7 and 9). Results: For systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) BP, the discrepancy (Δ, mmHg) between Ref and Osc were calculated separately for each participant and for every measurement point. ΔSBP in minute 9 was significantly bigger than ΔSBP observed in minutes 3, 5 and 7 (-4.38±6.0 vs -0.56±4.8 p<0.000003, and vs -1.33±4.6 p
