In this Ask the Expert segment, Dr. Lydia Love answers some frequently asked questions related to anesthesia and blood pressure monitoring including:
- If a patient has a normal or high blood pressure reading, it is safe to assume that they have good oxygen delivery to tissues, correct?
- If I can palpate a dorsal pedal or metatarsal pulse I can safely assume that my patient's blood pressure is okay, right?
- If a patient is critically ill and our hospital does not have specific equipment for assessing arterial blood pressure, is there any way that we could use a sphygmomanometer to try and obtain that information?
