|
The present study compared two indirect blood pressure methods at thoracic limb, pelvic limb, and coccygealsites. For measurement of blood pressure, 48 client-owned dogs in a clinical setting were used. When comparing theresults obtained by doppler and oscillometric methods, there were significant differences in blood pressure of the thoracicand pelvic limbs. The Doppler machine produced significantly higher blood pressure value than oscillometry measuredat thoracic and pelvic limbs. The difference in blood pressure between the two methods was not significant whenmeasured in the tail. Comparison of blood pressure measured at three different sites by doppler, blood pressure measuredat pelvic limb was higher than at thoracic limb and tail. In case of oscillometry, there were no significant differencesbetween the three sites. The results of this study indicate that mechanical and positional differences were existed inblood pressure measurements at the canine thoracic limb, pelvic limb and tail.
