The auscultatory method was used to obtain indirect systolic and diastolic pressures in 13 dogs anesthetized with either halothane or sodium pentobarbital (30 mg/kg of body weight). Korotkoff sounds were obtained, using a 1-cm (diameter) piezoelectric element cemented to the inner surface of a pediatric cuff (width 5.5 cm) which was placed on a shaved thoracic limb (membrum thoracicum). The signal from the piezoelement was amplified by a differential amplifier (30 to 200 Hz) and a commercially available audio amplifier. Indirect pressure (I) was compared with direct pressure (D) in the brachial, femoral, or carotid artery. The linear regression lines and correlation coefficients (r) for the data were as follows: systolic, I = 0.94 (D) + 1.1, r = 0.98; diastolic, I = 0.99 (D) + 3.2, r = 0.99. The quality of the Korotkoff sounds and the accuracy of the determinations were best in the halothane-anesthetized dogs. These results indicate that indirect auscultatory systolic and diastolic pressures are in excellent agreement with the directly measured pressures.
