[Automatic measure of arterial pressure using the oscillometric method (Dynamap 845)].

The reproducibility and reliability of measurements performed with an automatic blood pressure measuring device based on the oscillometric method were assessed by comparison with the results obtained by the indirect auscultation using a mercury manometer. The results of the mean values, of the correlation between successive values and of the variation of the values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure show that the readings obtained by the automatic method are very reproducible.
