Hypertension is a chronic disease that most of the time has no symptoms, being predominantly silent that affects the population and has serious repercussions on public health. The present study aims to evaluate the oscillometric method in relation to the auscultatory method in the aid, diagnosis and control of arterial hypertension. Quantitative research of integrative revision with data collection realized from primary sources by means of bibliographical survey. Absolute frequency (n), percentage (%) and organization of data by similarity were used to describe the selected studies. Twelve articles dealing with this topic were selected and analyzed, with 1 talk about neonates, 5 from children to adolescents and 6 from adults and the elderly. It was concluded that the studies did not present significant differences between the auscultatory and oscillometric method, on the contrary, the results showed a positive correlation between the measurements made with the related methods.
