| description | The purpose of the present study was to study if the systemic blood pressure in cats
significant increases due to stress associated with a visit to a veterinarian clinic. We
also wanted to investigate the clinical utility of two different methods for indirect
blood pressure measurements in cats by assessing how easy they were to use and how
reliable measurements they provided. The methods that were used were oscillometric
(Memo Diagnostic) and ultrasound-doppler technique (Minidop). The blood pressure
was measured in both clinical environment and home environment. Fifty cats were
used in the study, from which measurements were impossible to obtain in one cat.
Twelve cats were uncooperative and it was not possible to obtain five measurements
with each device in these cats. However, These cats were included in the statistic
analyses, because only three readings were stipulated in the study protocol.
The blood pressure in cats was systematically higher at the clinic compared to values
obtained at home. The difference was most prominent for the systolic blood pressure
obtained with the oscillometric device (P=0,02). This difference was, presumably, not
great enough to be of clinical importance (MV osc clinic 137/75 mmHg, doppler
clinic 119; MV osc home 131/71, doppler home 114). A significant difference
between systolic blood-pressure measurements was found between the two different
methods. The doppler-technique showed significantly lower values.
A statistic significant association between age and raised systolic blood pressure was
found (P<0,0001). The blood pressure increased with increasing age.
Environment, equipment and age had significant effect on the blood pressure in cats.
The doppler device were considered more difficult to use and more frequently
provided unrealistic measurements. Presumably, this was caused by operator
inexperience and lack of training. The oscillometric method was considered easier to
use and was generally tolerated better by the cats. |

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka huruvida det systemiska blodtrycket hos katter stiger signifikant med den stress som ett klinikbesök innebär. Vi ville även utvärdera två olika metoder för indirekt blodtrycksmätning för att se vilken metod som praktiskt och tekniskt är enklast att utföra. Metoderna som användes var oscillometri (osc) (Memo Diagnostic) och ultraljudsdopplerteknik (Minidop). Blodtrycket mättes både i klinikmiljö och i hemmiljö. Femtio katter ingick i studien, varav en katt inte gick att få mätvärden från. Tolv stycken var mindre samarbetsvilliga och en fullständig undersökning med fem blodtrycksmätningar kunde inte genomföras hos dessa katter. De inkluderas dock i den statistiska analysen då endast tre mätningar krävdes för detta. Blodtrycket hos katter var generellt högre vid besök på klinik jämfört med värden uppmätta i hemmiljö. Tydligast sågs detta på det systoliska trycket uppmätt med oscillometri (P=0,02). Ökningen bedömdes dock vara av sådan grad att den förmodligen inte var kliniskt relevant (MV osc klinik 137/75 mmHg, doppler klinik 119; MV osc hem 131/71, doppler hem 114). En tydlig skillnad mellan uppmätta systoliska blodtryck sågs vid jämförelse av de två metoderna. Dopplertekniken gav signifikant lägre värden. Ett statistiskt signifikant samband mellan ökat systemiskt blodtryck och ålder kunde påvisas (P <0,0001). Blodtrycket steg med ökad ålder. Dopplertekniken bedömdes i jämförelse med oscillometri vara svårare att använda då metoden kräver mer tålamod och teknik. Den oscillometriska apparaten bedömdes vara lättare att hantera och tolererades generellt bättre av katterna. Blodtrycket påverkades signifikant av miljö, utrustning och ålder. Den oscillometriska metoden bedömdes i denna studie vara enklare att använda och gav för en otränad operatör oftare realistiska blodtrycksvärden, vilket indikerar att metoden är kliniskt mer användbar inom smådjurssjukvården.
