Noninvasive blood pressure measurement is commonly performed with oscillometry; however, this technique provides clinically helpful information only if it is representative of the gold standard. Agreement between direct and oscillometric blood pressure measurements were performed in 14 anesthetized, captive tigers (Panthera tigris). A cuff, placed around the tail base and connected to a multiparameter monitor, was used to measure arterial blood pressure oscillometrically and provided systolic, mean, and diastolic pressures. At the same time, direct blood pressures were obtained from a dorsal pedal arterial catheter, and the oscillometric and direct readings were considered paired data points. Agreement between the two methods was evaluated by Bland-Altman plots. All animals completed the study and provided 196 paired data points. The bias (mm Hg) for systolic, mean, and diastolic arterial pressures was –3.7, –0.8, and –1.6, respectively. Limits of agreement (mm Hg) for systolic, mean, and diastolic arterial pressures were –31 to 24, –29 to 27, and –29 to 26, respectively. Oscillometry provided an acceptable amount of readings within 10 and 20 mm Hg of the gold standard. The oscillometric technique provided reasonable agreement with direct measurements. Therefore, in the conditions used in this study, oscillometric blood pressure measured via the ventral coccygeal artery provided reasonable estimates of invasive blood pressure in anesthetized tigers.
