ما مدى دقة أجهزة قياس ضغط الدم من المعصم؟

إجابة من فرانسيسكو لوبيز-جيمينيز، (دكتور في الطب)

قد تكون بعض أجهزة قياس ضغط الدم من المعصم دقيقة إذا استُخدمَت حسب التوجيهات بالضبط وجرى التحقق منها وفق القياسات التي أُخذت في عيادة الطبيب. للحصول على قياس ضغط الدم الأكثر موثوقية، تنصح جمعية القلب الأمريكية باستخدام جهاز قياس مزود بسوار يلتف حول أعلى ذراعك، عند توفره.

قد لا يتمكن بعض الأشخاص ذوي الأذرع الكبيرة للغاية من الحصول على سوار ذراع ذي مقاس مناسب في المنزل. وفي هذه الحالة، قد يكون من المناسب قياس ضغط الدم من المعصم. قد تكون أجهزة قياس ضغط الدم من المعصم أيضًا خيارًا مناسبًا للأشخاص الذين خضعوا لعملية إزالة العقد اللمفية من الإبط (استئصال العقدة اللمفية الإبطية).

غالبًا ما يعطي استخدام جهاز قياس ضغط الدم من المعصم في المنزل قراءات عالية خاطئة بسبب ضبط موضعه بشكل خاطئ. فإذا كنت تستخدم أحد هذه الأجهزة، فضعه مباشرة فوق شريان المعصم (الشريان الكعبري)، حيث يمكنك الشعور بالنبض، ولا تضعه فوق الملابس. حافظ أيضًا على وضع معصمك في مستوى القلب. وابق ثابتًا أثناء الاختبار ولا تثنِ معصمك. فربما يؤدي ثني المعصم إلى ظهور قراءات غير صحيحة.

من الشائع أن تختلف قراءات ضغط الدم في المنزل على أي نوع من الأجهزة عن القراءات التي تُؤخذ في عيادة الطبيب. فإذا كان لديك جهاز قياس ضغط الدم من المعصم، فاصطحبه إلى عيادة الطبيب، إذ يمكن للطبيب المقارنة بين ضغط الدم في ذراعك وفي معصمك للتأكد من أن جهازك يعمل بشكل جيد.
