Resumen

Introducción: La técnica de auscultación realizada en los miembros superiores, en posición sentada, es la más utilizada. Sin embargo, también es posible medir en las extremidades inferiores y en las posiciones de pie o tumbadoo. Objetivo: analizar la evidencia científica disponible en la literatura sobre la medición indirecta de la presión arterial en los miembros inferiores. Métodos: revisión integradora, con estrategia de búsqueda utilizando Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, Embase, LILACS, PubMed, Scopus y Web of Science, con los términos Ankle, Arterial Pressure, Blood Pressure, Blood Pressure Determination, Leg, Lower Extremity, Thigh y sus sinónimos. Se añadió uma búsqueda manual a las referencias de los estudios incluidos. Resultados: la muestra final consistió em 23 estudios primarios que se dividieron en tres categorías temáticas: comparación de valores de presión arterial; comparación de métodos de medición de la presión arterial; recomendaciones. Así comprobaron que los valores de presión arterial en los miembros inferiores presentan una diferencia entre11,2 y 36,5 milímetros de mercurio cuando se comparan com los de la parte superior del brazo. Además, la técnica realizada en los miembros inferiores provoca molestias y dolor. Conclusión: el tobillo y el muslo son alternativas viables cuando la medición indirecta de la presión arterial no pueda realizarse en el brazo, sin embargo, no debe utilizarse como sustituto debido a la valores encontrados y su importancia en la práctica clínica.
