2.5 Side effects of long-term blood pressure measurement
Long-term blood pressure measurement is a commonly practised and valued measurement technique, and has
found its way into daily diagnostics and treatment monitoring.
Blood pressure measurement can lead to petechial bleeding or haematomas on the measuring arm despite the
correct positioning of the cuff in case of coagulation disorders, taking anticoagulants or in the case of sensitive
body tissue. Always check whether the patient has coagulation disorders or is undergoing anticoagulant treatment.
The patient-dependent risk resulting from anticoagulant treatment or in patients with coagulation disorders arises
irrespective of the type of measuring device.
