Item Procedimientos para la calibración de esfigmomanómetros: una revisión(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Valencia Pinto, Kelly Johanna; Zamorano Mejía, Juan Sebastián; Trejos Vidal, Luis Anderson (Director)Blood pressure is a vital parameter in detecting diseases related to blood flow and pressure in the arteries. Precise measurements are obtained through various calibration methods. The objective of this study is to determine the improvements in different procedures used in the medical industry for calibrating sphygmomanometers. Observational studies, cross-sectional, case-control, cohort, and monographs conducted between 2003 and 2023 were considered. Those whose topic is not related to sphygmomanometer calibration, those with restricted access, incomplete content, or in preprint state were excluded. Literature search was conducted on databases and search engines such as Scielo, Lilac, Scopus, Science Direct, and Pubmed. The search strategy was designed using keywords and controlled terms to maximize the identification of relevant literature. Keywords were considered in combination with boolean operators “AND” and “OR”. The results showed that each calibration method has its peculiarities and adapts to various situations and types of devices. Finally, advances in sphygmomanometer calibration in the medical industry have improved its precision and consistency in blood pressure measurements. These advances are fundamental to ensure the reliability of results in the medical and health fields, which in turn contributes to better medical care and more accurate diagnoses.
