Agreement of aneroid and oscillometric blood pressure devices used in pregnancy

ConclusionAccurate automated devices may ensure consistent assessment of blood pressure in the antenatal setting. Our results suggest that Microlife VSA and Uscom BP+ may be suitable alternatives to the aneroid device for use in the antenatal setting. Further studies assessing both auscultatory and oscillometric blood pressure devices in pregnancy, and especially in hypertensive cohorts, are required.
