Ideally oscillometric measurement from your non-invasive device should be more accurate than the calculation. The greatest point of emphasis is making sure we are consistent with the measures, (don't alternate cuff positions from leg to arm, don't alternate cuff sizes, don't use the monitor one time and then a manual the next and attempt to trend those, etc) but also being aware that confirming monitor accuracy with a manual pressure is vital.

Should we really be utilizing MAP with non-invasive pressure devices? To say we should re-check it manually can hardly be practical when many areas of the hospital use non-invasive devices for BP monitoring.
