Summary

This study tests whether blood pressure readings taken over different layers of clothing are as reliable as those taken on bare skin. Researchers will compare measurements from 161 emergency department patients. The goal is to see if clothing affects accuracy, which could change how blood pressure is checked in urgent situations.

What this could lead to: If accurate, this could allow quicker blood pressure checks in emergencies without undressing patients.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center study. Clothing thickness may still cause errors, and results may not apply to all settings.
