In 100 patients invasive blood pressure (BP) measurements in the aortic arch were compared with oscillometric devices at the left upper arm (UA1, device: Hestia OZ 80) and at the left and right wrists (Wl, Wr, device: NAiS Blood Pressure Watch). BPs/BPd at Wl were on average 4.3/6.0 mmHg higher than aortic BP with a relative high variability. Difference between Wls and Aos more than +/- 20 mmHg in 16% of patients between Wld and Aod more than +/- 20 mmHg in 5% of patients. Within the limits of +/- 10 mmHg, we found 56% of the systolic and 74% of the diastolic wrist values compared to the aorta. The automatic oscillometric BP measurement at the wrist is a useful method for BP self-measurement, but should be compared with upper arm values before recommending it (difference < +/- 10 mmHg) in the individual case.
