Influence of vertebral artery blood flow research outcomes on clinical judgment

Abstract:
There has been substantial additional research into the effects of cervical movements on vertebral artery blood flow since 1988, when the APA first formalised a Protocol for Pre-Manipulative Testing of the Cervical Spine and recommended its use in patients with upper quarter dysfunction. The development of duplex Doppler ultrasound equipment with colour enhancement, which allows measurements of velocity and flow rate of vertebral artery blood flow, has resulted in a burgeoning of in-vivo blood flow studies.

Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
