Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a diagnostic test that measures blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period. Here are five frequently asked questions (FAQs) about ABPM:

1. What is Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)?

– Answer: ABPM is a diagnostic technique used to measure blood pressure at regular intervals throughout the day and night. It involves wearing a portable device that automatically inflates and records blood pressure readings over a 24-hour period. This provides a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of a person’s blood pressure compared to readings taken in a clinical setting.

2. Why is ABPM recommended over traditional blood pressure measurements?

– Answer: ABPM is recommended for various reasons, including the ability to capture a person’s blood pressure over an extended period, providing a more accurate representation of their typical daily fluctuations. This can help diagnose conditions like white coat hypertension (elevated blood pressure in a clinical setting) or masked hypertension (normal readings in the clinic but elevated outside of it), leading to better-informed treatment decisions.

3. How is ABPM performed?

– Answer: A small, portable monitor is worn on a belt or strap, connected to a blood pressure cuff on the arm. The cuff automatically inflates at pre-programmed intervals, typically every 15 to 30 minutes during waking hours and every 30 to 60 minutes during sleep. Users are encouraged to go about their usual daily activities but keep the monitor secure and dry.

4. What information does ABPM provide?

– Answer: ABPM provides a wealth of information, including average blood pressure levels during the day and night, the extent of blood pressure variability, and the dipping pattern (how much blood pressure decreases during sleep). This data helps healthcare professionals assess the effectiveness of treatment, identify any potential white coat or masked hypertension, and make more informed decisions about medication adjustments.

5. Does Contec ABPM50-24 hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor contains batteries?

– Answer: Yes, Contec ABPM50-24 hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor contains 3 number of batteries needed to run the machine.

6. Does Contec ABPM50-24 hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor comes with SPO2 monitoring possibilities.

– Answer: Yes, Contec ABPM50-24 hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor comes with optional SPO2 probe which can measure oxygen saturation level along with the blood pressure.

6. Does Contec ABPM50-24 hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor comes with SPO2 monitoring possibilities.

– Answer: Yes, Contec ABPM50-24 hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor comes with optional SPO2 probe which can measure oxygen saturation level along with the blood pressure.

7. Can Contec ABPM50-24 hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor measure 48hrs of data

– Answer: Contec ABPM50-24 hours Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor can measure 24hrs of data, however you would continue using it more days to have more sampling.
