StructureDefinition-BloodPressurePanel
The Blood Pressure Panel profile contains three observations, systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressures. These are slices of the component element (Observation.component) and the value (Observation.value) has been constrained out (cardinality set to 0). Systolic and Diastolic blood pressures are commonly stored together as a “blood pressure”. There are times when a mean arterial pressure needs to be stored also, so it was included. The only required observation of the three is Systolic BP. By doing so the panel may be used to record any combination of Systolic + Diastolic, Systolic only , or all three. This negates the need to create individual FHIR profiles for any of the three.
In addition, the Blood Pressure Panel profile contains the following qualifying observations with associated SNOMED CT value sets: Body Position (e.g. standing, sitting, Trendelenburg); Blood Pressure Measurement Site (Note that this value set contains both the artery, such as brachial artery, and the external cuff location); Blood Pressure Method (e.g. auscultation, doppler); Exercise Association Reference Set (e.g. before exercise, after exercise); Sleep status (e.g. awake, asleep); and Vital Signs Associated Precondition (e.g. before cardioversion, after cardioversion). Blood Pressure Cuff Size (from size 1 for premature babies up to thigh cuff) and Blood Pressure Device Type (e.g. aneroid sphygmomanometer, arterial line) have been combined into a single extension, Measurement Device Ext.
