Blood pressure measurement through clothing vs bare arm
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares blood pressure readings taken through clothing versus on bare skin in emergency department patients. It aims to see if wearing layers affects measurement accuracy, potentially saving time and discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests how accurately a non-invasive blood pressure device measures your pressure compared to a direct measurement from an arterial line (a thin tube in an artery that directly measures pressure). You'll need to be in a hospital or intensive care setting where you already have an arterial line as part of your standard care.
This study tests how well a new blood pressure cuff measures blood pressure compared to a standard arterial line. If you already have an arterial line as part of your care, you may be able to help us see if the cuff is accurate.
This study tests a new wearable device that measures blood pressure without a cuff. You might be able to join if you are generally healthy, not pregnant, and have no serious heart or kidney problems.
This observational study tests how well a wearable device (the Aktiia bracelet) measures blood pressure by comparing it to standard listening checks. It may help people understand how accurate home-style blood pressure readings can be in different health situations.
This study tests a new automatic blood pressure cuff that may work as well as the standard invasive blood pressure monitor. It is for adults in the operating room, recovery room, or intensive care unit who already have an arterial line.
This study tests a new non-invasive blood pressure device in babies, children, and teens. It compares the device's readings to those from an arterial line, which is already in place for their medical care. The goal is to see if the device can measure blood pressure accurately without needles.
