Comparison of forearm and intra-arterial blood pressure measurements according to body and arm positions in obese patients.

Rationale: Noninvasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring is very important also difficult for accurate diagnosis and monitor of obese patients.

Aims: The study aimed to assess the agreement between forearm arm BP and intra-arterial BP values in a different body and arm positions in obese patients.

Methods: The descriptive study was carried out on 60 intensive care patients with a body mass index above 30 kg/m who were monitored with invasive radial BP in the general and surgical intensive care units.

Can artificial intelligence and robotic nurses replace operating room nurses? The quasi-experimental research.

Operating room nurses, who have an important place in the professional healthcare team, should be able to use technology effectively and adapt to innovations. This study is expected to shed light on how effective the development of robotic technologies and artificial intelligence and their integration into operating room nursing will be in fulfilling the requirements of contemporary nursing philosophy. This study was designed as a single group pre- and post-test quasi-experimental study.

Innovation in measuring obese patients' blood pressure: measurement with conical wrapping technique.

Introduction: Accurate measurement of blood pressure (BP) is difficult in obese patients due to their upper arm shape and width. Errors made during BP measurement cause misdiagnosis or lead to wrong treatment.

Method: The data of this methodological study were collected from 40 patients who were 18 years old or above, with a BMI above 25 kg/m2, and who were followed up with radial catheter arterial pressure in adult intensive care and postoperative care units between March and December 2020.
