“…Volunteers were asked to refrain from any BP-altering activities for 3 h before the test, as outlined in the recommendations. 1 All measurements were taken from the volunteers in a seated position in a quiet environment.…”

“…Instead, a variety of different methods are used to monitor BP non-invasively. The two most commonly used methods, which are currently being used both inside and outside the hospitals, are the auscillatory 1 and oscillometric 2 methods, both of which require a cuff to measure the BP. These have been used for many years now and are quite reliable and accurate, 3 but are somewhat limited as they do not provide continuous BP measurements and patients have often reported discomfort from wearing them.…”

An examination of calibration intervals required for accurately tracking blood pressure using pulse transit time algorithms

et al. 2013

Pulse transit time (PTT) is defined as the time it takes the blood pressure (BP) wave to propagate from the heart to a specified point on the body. After an initial BP measurement, PTT can track BP over short periods of time. This paper evaluates two PTT algorithms: Chen's and Poon's algorithm; two of the most cited works in the area. The criteria for evaluating them were: which was capable of best tracking changes in BP and which provided the longest time between subsequent BP measurements. These establish the suitability of the PTT method for practical applications, which has not been examined previously. Accuracy was evaluated using the Association of Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and the British Hypertension Society's (BHS) standards. Results show that Chen's algorithm is dependent on its lookup table at short intervals but remains accurate using a 6-min calibration interval, with r ¼ 0.96 and r 2 ¼ 0.98. Poon's algorithm fails when using a 2-min calibration interval, but is more capable of reflecting changes in BP. The short calibration interval and accuracy limit the usefulness of calculating BP using PTT. Therefore, neither of the algorithms can be recommended because of their shortcomings when estimating BP.

“…Participants were seated and asked to relax for a period of around five minutes, in accordance with recommended guidelines (Shapiro et al, 1996), while the experimenter performed various administrative tasks. The cuff was attached to the participant's non-dominant arm and three consecutive systolic blood pressure readings were taken, with an interval of approximately 2 minutes between each reading.…”

Anxiety sensitivity and pain: Generalisability across noxious stimuli

Pain

Anxiety sensitivity, a fear of anxiety-related symptoms, has been associated with a heightened experience of pain, especially within women. The majority of experimental studies investigating this association have relied heavily on the cold pressor technique as a means of pain induction, limiting the generalisability of results. The aim of the current study was to extend previous research by using two types of pain stimuli (cold and heat) to determine whether the link between anxiety sensitivity and pain generalises beyond cold pressor pain.The pain experience of 125 participants in response to these stimuli was assessed using threshold and tolerance readings, as well as subjective pain ratings. Results indicated a positive association between anxiety sensitivity and subjective pain, with this association observed primarily in females. Although analysis also indicated a basic generalisability of results across pain stimuli, anxiety sensitivity effects appeared to be especially pronounced during heat stimulation. These findings suggest that those high in anxiety sensitivity may respond more negatively to specific types of pain. Possible implications along with suggestions for future research are discussed.Anxiety sensitivity and pain: generalisability across noxious stimuli 3

“…Then, we computed cardiovascular change (delta) scores for each participant by subtracting the baseline values from the averages of values obtained during task performance (see blood pressure publication guidelines by Shapiro et al 1996). As the SBP baselines differed between conditions (easy: M = 116.55, SD = 5.32; difficult: M = 103.30, SD = 6.78), t(18) = 4.86, p \ .001, d = 2.24, we conducted preliminary ANCOVAs to test for associations between the cardiovascular baseline values and reactivity scores (e.g., Llabre et al 1991) in order to determine if we needed to adjust the reactivity scores with regard to the baseline values.…”
