NCT06119412 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: GaziU-SBF-EE-02

Brief Summary

This cross design study will be conducted to evaluate the combination of palpation and auscultation techniques as an alternative technique for the measurement of blood pressure. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Is there a statistical difference between the results of systolic blood pressure measured with the old and new technique?
• Is there a statistical difference between the results of systolic blood pressure measured with the old and new technique? Participants' blood pressure will be measured twice.

Conditions

Healthy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• blood pressure measurement list

  This form will record the participant's systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured with the standard technique and the alternative new technique.

  approximately 12 weeks from the start of measurements until reporting.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• blood pressure measurement time

  approximately 12 weeks from the start of measurements until reporting.

Study Arms (2)

group 1, starting with standard technique

OTHER

According to block randomization, the 1st researcher will first apply the standard technique (60 seconds pause between palpation and auscultation), 1 minute break will be given, and the 2nd researcher will apply the alternative new technique (no break between palpation and auscultation) on the same person.

Other: blood pressure measurement starting with standard technique or alternative new technique. manual sphygmomanometer will be used.

group 2, starting with alternative new technique

OTHER

According to block randomization, Investigator 1 will first apply the alternative new technique (no pause between palpation and auscultation) to the people in the second group, and a 1-minute break will be given. The 2nd researcher will apply the standard technique (60 seconds break between palpation and auscultation) on the same person.

Other: blood pressure measurement starting with standard technique or alternative new technique. manual sphygmomanometer will be used.

Interventions

blood pressure measurement starting with standard technique or alternative new technique. manual sphygmomanometer will be used. OTHER

Each participant will have their blood pressure measured with two different techniques.

group 1, starting with standard technique; group 2, starting with alternative new technique
