Arrhythmias
These waveforms cause erratic readings on some NIBPMs. The blood pressure
determination strongly depends on exactly what is happening with the subject's
blood pressure when the cuff pressure is at a particular level. Some NIBPMs
pause until they detect two or more equivalent beats. The pattern of step deflations
and the measured blood pressure depend on which beats occur during each step of
the cuff pressure.
