Summary
This study looked at how well blood pressure cuffs on the upper arm, forearm, thigh, and lower leg match the standard method of measuring blood pressure from an artery. Researchers studied 84 adults having surgery to see if readings from other body parts are reliable. The goal is to help doctors know when they can use alternative sites for blood pressure checks.
