Hypertension, body positions, level of blood pressure.
Background: The adult hypertension prevalence has shown a drastic increase in the past three decades in urban as well as rural areas. Accurate blood pressure measurements, including differences when lying down versus standing up and sitting can be very helpful when healthcare providers are trying to monitor the condition. Objectives: To assess effect of different body positions on level of blood pressure among hypertensive patients Methods: Total 250 hypertensive patients were selected by convenient sampling method. Researcher's convenience and familiarity with settings were added reason. A questionnaire to collect the socio-demographic data and a structure tool was used for data collection. Results: Mean systolic blood pressure in supine position 135.6 and standard deviation was 7.86. In supine cross leg position mean of systolic blood pressure was 136.7 and standard deviation was 8.4 and mean of systolic blood pressure in fowler’s position was 140 and standard deviation was 9.1. Mean arterial pressure in supine position was 52 and standard deviation was 7.4. In supine with cross leg position mean of arterial pressure was 54 and standard deviation was 9.9 and mean of arterial pressure in fowlers position was 56.1 and standard deviation was 11.2. Mean diastolic blood pressure in supine position was 83.2 and standard deviation was 6.1. In supine with cross leg position mean of diastolic blood pressure was 84 and standard deviation was 10.3 and mean of diastolic blood pressure in fowlers position was 88 and standard deviation is 11.7. Conclusion: There was marked difference in blood pressure level according to the body positions.
