UsuallyNo; ?Problems: BP determined by heart output vs. Total peripheral resistance. If heart damaged or marked blood loss during the procedure output reduced. If total peripheral resistance reduced in response to situation or medications (emotional state, arteriolar dilation, pain meds) then BP will be lower. Each BP check only 1 heart beat for top number, another for bottom. BP is behavior & can change very quickly.
