The measurement of blood pressure by the linear method compared to the deflation methods differently modifies the pulse oximeter alarm frequency

Conclusion
Heart rate may influence alarm occurrence during blood-pressure measurement using the step deflation method. Using the linear inflation method, the risks of alarm occurrence and measurement failure are low, even when the pulse oximeter and blood-pressure measurement cuffs are installed on the same side, suggesting that this method is suitable for clinical use.
