Title

Reference Arm for Blood Pressure Measurement in Stroke Survivors

Pages

  0-0

Abstract

 Background: Averting recurrent stroke among Stroke Survivors requires a choice of the appropriate arm for Blood Pressure (BP) measurement, especially among high-risk survivors. Objectives: This study aimed at determining the appropriate arm for BP measurement in Stroke Survivors. Methods: This cross sectional study comprised of 100 volunteer and willing Stroke Survivors enrolled using the convenient sampling technique from 2 public hospitals in Maiduguri, Nigeria. Each participant’ s BP was measured as stipulated by previous studies. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the socio-demographics and clinical characteristics of the Stroke Survivors. Student’ s t-test for independent samples was used to compare mean BP between unaffected and affected arms of the participants. Results: Mean age and age range of the participants in years were 53. 8 + 17. 7 and 20 to 90, respectively. Participants that had had a stroke within the previous 7 months accounted for 69. 0% of cases. Spastic stroke constituted 71%. Sides of the body afflicted with stroke were equally distributed. A significant difference (p = 0. 017) existed in Blood Pressure between unaffected and affected arms of Stroke Survivors. Conclusions: Health workers involved in the management of stroke patients were advised to take Blood Pressure measurement from both the affected and non-affected arms; the arm with the higher value should be taken as the reference arm.
