The most common automated blood pressure devices determine systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure (SBP, DBP and MAP) by analysing the oscillometric pulse waveform. The aim of this study was to assess the variability of the amplitude of oscillometric pulse waveform characteristics at SBP, DBP and MAP.
