Sleeves may skew blood pressure cuff results, study finds
NCT ID NCT06999863
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether wearing a sleeve changes the accuracy of automated blood pressure cuffs in 75 ICU patients. Researchers compared readings taken over a thick sleeve, thin sleeve, and bare arm against a more precise arterial line. They also tested two different measurement algorithms to see which one works better.

- If successful, this could lead to more reliable blood pressure readings in hospitals, even when patients wear sleeves.
- What could go wrong
