Abstract:
Hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (HDP) remains a major health burden, and it is associated with systemic cardiovascular adaptation. The pulse wave is an important basis for evaluating the status of the human cardiovascular system. This research aims to evaluate the application value of pulse waves in the diagnosis of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy.This research a retrospective study of pregnant women who attended prenatal care and labored at Beijing Haidian District Maternal and Child Health Hospital. We extracted maternal hemodynamic factors and measured the pulse wave of the pregnant women. We developed an HDP predictive model by using support vector machine algorithms at five-gestational-week stages.At five-gestational-week stages, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the predictive model with pulse wave parameters was higher than that of the predictive model with hemodynamic factors. The AUC values of the predictive model with pulse wave parameters were 0.77 (95% CI 0.64 to 0.9), 0.83 (95% CI 0.77 to 0.9), 0.85 (95% CI 0.81 to 0.9), 0.93 (95% CI 0.9 to 0.96) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.8 to 0.95) at five-gestational-week stages, respectively. Compared to the predictive models with hemodynamic factors, the predictive model with pulse wave parameters had better prediction effects on HDP.Pulse waves had good predictive effects for HDP and provided appropriate guidance and a basis for non-invasive detection of HDP.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

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.
