Measuring arm blood pressure in the emergency room
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether taking blood pressure on a bare arm or over clothing gives different results in the emergency room. It helps doctors know if they can trust measurements taken over a sleeve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be a patient in the emergency department.
- You must be able to have your blood pressure taken on your arm.
- You have not taken blood pressure medication in the last hour.
- You can speak French or communicate easily with the staff.

This study tests whether measuring blood pressure on a bare arm works just as well as measuring it through a special suit sleeve. If you are in the emergency department, your blood pressure will be checked both ways to see if the sleeve gives the same reading.
This study compares blood pressure readings taken from three different places on the legs to the standard arm reading. It aims to see if these leg measurements are reliable, which could be helpful when arm measurements are difficult.
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 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 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.
