Abstract:
Objective:To determine the relationship between brachia l artery blood pressure and radial artery blood pressure in children and whether blood pressure measured from the radial artery can replace blood pr essure measured from the brachial artery. Methods:Brachial and rad ial artery pressures in 105 children were measured using an electronic sphygmomanometer.Results:There was no significant difference between the average values of blood pressures of the brachial and radial arteries in the 105 children studied (P>0.05). Linear regression and correlation analyses showed that there was a positive linear correlation between the systolic pressure of the b rach ial artery and the radial artery in the 105 children, as well as a posit ive linear correlation between the diastolic pressures of the brachial and the radial arteries. Conclusion:Blood pressure values from the radial artery can completely replace blood pressure values from the brachial artery.
