Blood Pressure Determination

Working with CINAHL this time:

Search: blood pressure monitoring
No relevant results

Search: blood pressure

Result: Blood Pressure

Tried PubMed MeSH database:

Search: blood pressure monitoring

Result: Blood Pressure Monitoring, Ambulatory

Broader term: Blood Pressure Determination

Back to CINAHL:

Search: blood pressure determination

Result: Blood Pressure Determination

Looked at tree - lists narrower term: Blood Pressure Monitoring, Ambulatory

Why the narrower term did not show up in the first search, I do not know. I tried it twice. Was using the "Relevancy Ranked" search in CINAHL.

The "Term begins with" search in CINAHL did bring up the correct heading. It also brought up Blood Pressure Devices.
