Blood pressure concepts

@aostropolets and @Dymshyts,

I am not finding concepts for a generic “arterial systolic blood pressure” and a generic “arterial diastolic blood pressure”. Do we have these concepts in the Concept table?

Melanie,
LOINC
3004249 BP systolic
3012888 BP diastolic

SNOMED
4154790 Diastolic blood pressure
4152194 Systolic blood pressure

and then all the flavors: average, max,min, sitting, by palpation, invasive…

Thanks, Anna, for getting back to me. I’m specifically looking for “arterial” systolic & diastolic blood pressure concepts. I want to distinguish from blood pressures taken with a cuff.

I found

SNOMED
4298391 Arterial blood pressure

but the Measurement table only allows the float data type in the value_as_a_number field, so we are unable to store a whole blood pressure (102/58)

Mmm, let me clarify a little bit. BP taken with cuff is still arterial, not venous. Or are you looking for some invasive procedures?

#5

If you want to distinguish invasive arterial BP from cuff BP measures, as @aostropolets said, could you use the following?

4353843 Invasive systolic arterial pressure Measurement SNOMED Observable Entity S 251071003
4354253 Invasive diastolic arterial pressure Measurement SNOMED Observable Entity S 251073000

Thanks, @esholle!

Those are exactly what I need.
