Current state of blood pressure measurement in pregnant people in Canada: A national, inter-disciplinary survey.

86 health care professionals from 7 provinces and various specialties (including 63% from internal medicine and 21% from obstetrics) responded.

For clinic blood pressure in pregnant people, respondents frequently use an appropriate cuff size (n = 82, 95%), take multiple readings (n = 77, 90%), and have patients sit with arm/back support (n = 72, 84%).

Respondents frequently recommended home blood pressure measurement (n = 81, 94%) and asked patients to bring home devices in to compare against clinic devices (n = 61, 71%) but most did not recommend a specific home device nor specify one that is validated in pregnancy.
