Compliance and Impact of a 5-Min Seated Rest Protocol on Home Blood Pressure Monitoring in Postpartum Women
Despite low compliance with 5 mins of seated rest prior to HBPM, the minimal impact on BP values suggests HBPM remains a useful monitoring strategy in postpartum women, even if the premeasurement rest is not always possible. Future research could evaluate whether shorter premeasurement rest recommendations produce similar findings.
