Assessment of blood pressure in brachial artery(two-step method)

661
Measuring blood pressure is a fundamental skill in healthcare that aids in diagnosing and monitoring hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. An aneroid sphygmomanometer, commonly used in clinical settings, offers a manual and precise method for blood pressure measurement. The technique for using this instrument involves specific steps that must be carefully executed to ensure accuracy. The following detailed description outlines a two-step technique for assessing blood pressure using...

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Digital Health Technology

Background:

  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a widespread disorder linked to cardiovascular disease and significant health burdens.
  • Underdiagnosis of OSA is common due to its often asymptomatic or non-specific presentation.
  • Current diagnostic methods may not reach the general population effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a smartphone-based breathing sound analysis app (Snorefox M) for screening obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
  • To compare the app's performance against polysomnography (PSG) in a non-symptomatic adult population.
  • To assess the potential of accessible digital tools in improving OSA detection rates.

Main Methods:

  • Recruitment of adult subjects from the general population, excluding those with OSA symptoms.
  • Parallel assessment using Type-II polysomnography (PSG) and the Snorefox M smartphone app for breathing sound analysis.
  • Comparison of app-derived results with PSG for detecting moderate to severe OSA (Apnea-Hypopnea Index [AHI] ≥ 15).

Main Results:

  • 150 subjects were included; 142 provided valid data.
  • 24% of the study population exhibited moderate to severe OSA based on PSG.
  • The Snorefox M app demonstrated high sensitivity (0.91) and NPV (0.97) for detecting AHI ≥ 15 compared to PSG.

Conclusions:

  • This study is the first to validate an app-based OSA screening tool against PSG in a non-symptomatic cohort.
  • Smartphone screening tools can augment traditional diagnostics, potentially increasing OSA diagnosis rates.
  • Enhanced OSA diagnosis through accessible technology may positively impact cardiovascular health in a significant population segment.
