Abstract
Blood pressures obtained from anaesthetized non-human primates by this indirect, noninvasive method correlate well with direct blood pressure measurements on anaesthetized animals (systolic R = 0·959, diastolic R = 0·946) and on conscious subjects (R = 0·84). Between- and within-animal variances of indirectly-obtained blood pressure recordings in anaesthetized animals were relatively small. The systolic blood pressure standard deviation was 11·566 among animals and 2·233 within animals, diastolic 7·618 and 0·475 respectively.
