“…In order to elucidate the conditions of use of the sphygmomanometers with the calibration of the devices from the applied tests, it was observed that of the 76 (100%) evaluated apparatus 13 (17.6%) were de-calibrated. Through analysis of the relationship between the calibration and the type of device, we reached p = 0.3664, which cancels out the relation between the type of sphygmomanometer and the calibration; differently from what is found in other articles that describe the prevalence of calibrated aneroid-type devices stand out from other types [15,16] .…”

Air exhaust, Measured pressure measurements and Calibration. RESULTS: Of the final sample of 76 sphygmomanometers, were unbalanced 76 sphygmomanometers, of which 56 (73, 7%) were of the aneroid type, 12 (15.8%) of the wall, 6 (7.9%) of the mobile column and 2 (2.6%) of mercury column, of the marks was predominant sphygmomanometers of the mark 1, with 30 (41.7%). Most of the analyzed sphygmomanometers had a serial number of 98.7% and a number of Inmetro 75%. A clamp-type relationship with calibration prevalence was found, with velcro clamps being 6 times more likely to be calibrated than clamp-type. CONCLUSION: The analysis was satisfactory in relation to the quality, calibration and general state of the apparatus, with new analyzes necessary for other variable variables to obtain a good blood pressure measurement.

“…In theory, concerning care of devices, there are understandings of the correct disposal of cuffs with non-adhesive Velcro ™ and with leakages in edges. However, if studies in our area show careless with clinical devices, ( 28 , 30 ) there is no sure if disposal really occur and if there are any criteria for disposal particularly for the difficult of device replacement as reported by participants. Calibration of aneroid devices every six month is little mentioned, which is similar to a previous study; 4.8%.…”

“…However, the unavailability of different cuff sizes needs to be considered, ( 27 ) and this can induce the professional to use what is available without reflect on this step relevance. Responsibilities related to this practice deserve reflections, even for the institution ( 28 ) at the moment of cuffs purchase.…”

Objective To determine and to analyze the theoretical and practical knowledge of Nursing professionals on indirect blood pressure measurement.Methods This cross-sectional study included 31 professionals of a coronary care unit (86% of the Nursing staff in the unit). Of these, 38.7% of professionals were nurses and 61.3% nurse technicians. A validated questionnaire was used to theoretical evaluation and for practice assessment the auscultatory technique was applied in a simulation environment, under a non-participant observation.Results To the theoretical knowledge of the stages of preparation of patient and environment, 12.9% mentioned 5-minute of rest, 48.4% checked calibration, and 29.0% chose adequate cuff width. A total of 64.5% of professionals avoided rounding values, and 22.6% mentioned the 6-month deadline period for the equipment calibration. On average, in practice assessment, 65% of the steps were followed. Lacks in knowledge were primary concerning lack of checking the device calibration and stethoscope, measurement of arm circumference to choose the cuff size, and the record of arm used in blood pressure measurement.Conclusion Knowledge was poor and had disparities between theory and practice with evidence of steps taken without proper awareness and lack of consideration of important knowledge during implementation of blood pressure measurement. Educational and operational interventions should be applied systematically with institutional involvement to ensure safe care with reliable values.

“…Another study from 2008 showed that a not gauged sphygmomanometer causes changes in the blood pressure measurement, having been even reported that for a excellence program of blood pressure measurement would be necessary a standardized positioning, controlled environment or with quiet sounding, in order to not provide changes in arterial pressure. Considering that this paper performed the all the verification standards used by study from 2008, it is suggested that the absence of significant difference occurred because of the program of excellence in verification [9] . Another physical condition of the studied athletes concerns the hemodynamic changes, witch it is being observed that the blood pressure data obtained indicate that the anticipatory adjustments of the cardiovascular system were occurring.…”

Resumo: A pressão arterial é uma das variáveis hemodinâmicas mais importantes para verificação precoce de doenças cardiovasculares e alterações autonômicas no coração. Sendo que a nível populacional a mensuração da pressão poderá indicar riscos ou não de eventos cardíacos durante atividades físicas de moderada e/ou elevada intensidade. Com isso, o objetivo desse artigo é comparar a mensuração de pressão arterial no esfigmomanômetro manual com o analógico em atletas pré treino. Para obtenção dos dados, realizou-se a verificação da pressão arterial duas vezes dos jogadores de futebol americano de Brasília. Os jogadores foram divididos em dois grupos de observação escolhidos de forma aleatória. No grupo A, composto por 10 atletas, foram realizadas a verificação manual da pressão arterial e a digital no mesmo braço. No grupo B, de 10 atletas, a ordem da verificação foi inversa ao grupo A. Posteriormente, as duas mensurações foram avaliadas de forma estatística descritiva e significativa. Dessa forma, foi observado que a pressão arterial apresentou média descritiva (sistólica 148,50 ± 21,58 -diastólica 93 ± 10,80) quando aferida em esfigmomanômetro manual, enquanto no digital obteve média descritiva (sistólica 150,25 ± 21,67 -diastólica 90,50 ± 15,38), sendo verificado que a pressão arterial média dos atletas apresentou-se elevada como ajustes agudos ao exercício físico previsto. Com isso, o esfigmomanômetro digital apresentou maior alteração nos valores de pressão diastólica. Entretanto, não houve diferença significativa entre o esfigmomanômetro digital e manual, sugerindo que ambos podem ser utilizados para mensuração de pressão arterial desde que bem posicionados. Palavras-chave: Pressão Arterial;Esfigmomanômetro; Monitores de Pressão; Atletas.[ Abstract: Blood pressure is one of the most important hemodynamic variables for early verification of cardiovascular diseases and autonomic changes in the heart. At the population level, its measurement may indicate risks or not of cardiac events during moderate or high intensity physical activities. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to compare the blood pressure measurement using manual and digital sphygmomanometer in pre-training athletes. To obtain the data, the blood pressure was verified twice in football players of Brasilia -Federal District, Brazil. The players were divided into two observation groups denominated A and B, both composed of 10 athletes, and chosen randomly. In group A blood pressure was verified following manual and digital order. In relation to group B, the order of the verification was inverse, it means, first digitally and later manually. It should be noted that all checks were performed on the same arm. Subsequently, the two measurements were evaluated for descriptive statistics and significant. Thus, in terms of the result, it was observed that the blood pressure presented a descriptive average (systolic 148.50 ± 21.58 -diastolic 93 ± 10.80) when measured in a manual sphygmomanometer, while for the measured in a digital sphygmomanometer was obt...
