A Pocket Guide to Blood Pressure Measurement in Children

This laminated card provides health care professionals with guidance on measuring blood pressure in children 3 - 17, as well as interpreting and classifying results. Separate Systolic Blood Pressure Percentile Tables are presented for Girls and Boys by age and height.

Clinical staff don't have time to convert inches to centimeters, and after the newborn period, we know of few places - at least in our city - that measure children in centimeters.     3/19/2008 1:22:30 PM Providing diastolic blood pressure data would have made this truly useful. I think most clinicians who are taking hypertension seriously (and likely to use this card) ought to use the complete--albeit complicated--charts previously published.
