Arm and Finger Measurement for Blood Pressure Surveillance
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Physical measurement and Cuff size fitting for Hypertension, Pregnancy-Induced. Active but no longer recruiting, targeting 300 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement is critical in peripartum care. The cuff and bladder sizes affects the accuracy of BP measurement. Current international BP measurement recommendations are based on mid-arm circumference (MAC). However, evidence have shown the discrepancies between these sizes, leading to inaccuracy of BP measurement. This study will measure arm and finger size of 300 parturients in third trimester to determine whether the MAC, finger measurement or body mass index (BMI) is the best clinical predictor for non-standard cuff sizes for BP measurement.

Timeline
Interventions
Parturients of gestational week \>= 32 weeks will have their arms and fingers measured to generate the conicity index.
Fit on arm cuff and finger cuff as selected by investigators based on the measurement.
