Description

Semi-supine measurements must be taken first, followed straight away by the standing measurements. Blood pressure and pulse rate measurements must be recorded in both the semi-supine and standing position. Semi-supine will be defined as the subject lying flat with two pillows under his/her head. Semi-supine pulse and blood measurements will be made after the subject has been resting semi-supine for a period of at least 10 minutes. A standing blood pressure and pulse measurement will be taken after the subject has been standing for a period of one minute. Any clinically significant worsening will be recorded on the Adverse Event or SAE page of the CRF. Blood pressure measurements should not be conducted within 15 minutes of a blood sample. If the blood pressure measurement is conducted after the blood sample, you should ensure that the subject has recovered from the venepuncture before the blood pressure measurement. The blood pressure cuff must be placed on the same arm throughout the study. The same study nurse/medical professional should conduct all the blood pressure/pulse measurements for each clinic visit. Ideally, the same study nurse/medical professional should conduct all the blood pressure/pulse measurements for each patient throughout the study.
