Blood Pressure Measurement: (NEJM Videos Jan 2009 Update)

Evaluation of blood pressure is used in assessing cardiovascular health, in screening for hypertension, and in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. This video demonstrates the appropriate technique for the indirect measurement of blood pressure in adults.

Videos in Clinical Medicine. Innovative technology affords us the opportunity to offer peer-reviewed educational videos that capitalize on the ability of moving images to teach procedures requiring skilled techniques and specialized physical examination. This first series of teaching videos is intended to help students, trainees, and younger physicians to learn procedural techniques from experienced colleagues. Our ultimate goal is to provide effective clinical instruction and improved patient care. For optimal viewing, the instructional videos will be displayed as streaming video in a version that includes chaptering and captions. The videos will also be available both in a downloadable file (of about 20 MB) and in a version compatible with handheld digital devices. We will release the initial group of four videos in the next six weeks or so, followed by additional contributions to Videos in Clinical Medicine later in the year. Each video will be from five to eight minutes long and will be accompanied online by a printable summary to supplement the video. Currently, the Videos in Clinical Medicine are available free. After the introductory period, access will be limited to subscribers, including all those who access the Web site with institutional subscriptions.
