Wood blood pressure

[Pinkertinkle]

I was reading through some hospital records and ran across:
"Breatkthrough episode of ventricular tachycardia at 200 with wood blood pressure."

I an interested in knowing what this wood blood pressure is.

i think "wood" refers to where the blood pressure cuff was placed, it is not uncommon to achieve very high wood pressures in some individuals

the cardiologist attending where I work has never heard of a "wood" blood pressure.

FYI

I was going to give a smartass definition, but I'm not 100% sure the OP is joking...

Would "wood" pressure be higher in the morning?

Lol, I seriously read this on a daily patient report. I guess it's a typo or the doc writing it has his own lingo.

Glad somebody got it. Didn't want to be too obvious.

One of my patients complained of "morning stiffness" and I almost blurted out, "welcome to my world," but stopped myself in time.
