“…In our study we used the Dinamap 1846 SX, rated with a C grade by Pomini et al 25 in 2001, who considered that it ‘accurately measured diastolic arterial blood pressure’. Validation studies comparing the Dinamap to the gold standard method of direct intra‐arterial pressure measurement by catheter have shown accuracy within acceptable limits 26–28 ; reliability studies demonstrate high repeatability 29,30 . Previous studies have observed systolic skip patterns similar to our own using the Dinamap device 13 .…”

Objective To generate reliable new reference ranges for pregnancy blood pressure from a large population.Design A prospective cross sectional study.Setting Obstetric outpatient clinic, Zurich University Hospital.Sample Accurately dateable singleton pregnancies (Caucasian: n ¼ 3234; Asian [predominantly from Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines]: n ¼ 577; Black n ¼ 212). Methods Between January 1996 and February 2000 blood pressure was determined in 4023 pregnant women using an oscillometric automated device (Dinamap) according to British Hypertension Society recommendations. Women receiving antihypertensive medication were excluded. Main outcome measure Blood pressure.Results Only the means of duplicate measures at the booking visit (5 -42 weeks) were used in the analysis.Mean blood pressure decreased from early to mid pregnancy before increasing to levels 4 mmHg higher at term than in early pregnancy. Values > 130/80 and <90/50 mmHg were above the 95th and below the 5th centiles, respectively. Parity, age and body mass index were significant determinants in Caucasians. Blood pressure was slightly lower in Asians and Blacks. Conclusions The current World Health Organisation definition of high diastolic blood pressure (!90 mmHg on two occasions) reflects values >2 standard deviations from the mean. This may be too conservative as threshold for detecting women at risk of pre-eclampsia. Further studies are required to determine the prognostic implications of gestational values !95th centile (!130/80 mmHg) and 5th centile ( 90/50 mmHg).

“…The Dinamap Monitor is routinely used in the hospital for assessing blood pressure and heart rate prior to ECT. Reliability and accuracy of the device has been demonstrated in several studies (Bruner et al 1981;Baker 1986;Mundt et al 1992;Bald, Kubel and Rascher 1994;Gardner and Montgomery 1998). It is autocalibrated and annually tested with a calibrated standard to verify that the transducer is accurate.…”

Effect of aquariums on electroconvulsive therapy patients

This study investigates the effect of an aquarium on pre-treatment anxiety, fear. frustration, and depression in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) patients. Forty-two patients consecutively referred for ECT were rotated between rooms with and without aquariums. Self report measures of depression, anxiety, fear, and frustration were obtained, along with heart rate and blood pressure measurements. Preliminary mixed-model, repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed no significant differences between the aquarium and control conditions on any of the dependent measures. A trend toward significance was found for self reported anxiety (p=0.08) and further data were collected. Subsequent mixed model, repeated measures ANOVA confirmed the trend toward differences (p=0.08) in anxiety between the aquarium and control conditions. Factoring out demographic factors, the average patient experienced 12% less anxiety in the presence of an aquarium.

“…Heart rates were obtained by palpating a radial pulse and counting for 1 min. Blood pressure was measured using a Dinamap Vital Signs Monitor 8100 (Critikon, Tampa, FL) (16). A tympanic thermometer (FirstTemp Genius 3000A, Sherwood Medical, St. Louis, MO), which has been demonstrated to be accurate to 0.01°C in children (17), was used to measure temperature.…”

Effect of red blood cell transfusion on oxygen consumption in the anemic pediatric patient

A significant increase in Vo(2) was noted after a red blood cell transfusion in pediatric patients with isovolemic anemia. These findings suggest that Vo(2) was dependent on the supply of oxygen in this subset of pediatric patients. Responding to increased oxygen delivery by increasing Vo(2) implies that these patients were functioning in a state of relative oxygen deficit and had made physiologic adaptive changes to function in this state.
