The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

When measuring blood pressure (BP) using the auscultation method, a stethoscope is commonly used. In clinical practice, it is sometimes placed under the cuff, but more usually outside the cuff on the antecubital fossa. However, there is little scientific evidence to quantify the BP difference between the BP measurements taken with the stethoscope under the cuff or outside the cuff. The aim of this study was to provide these data. © 2013 CCAL.
