HOW TO TAKE PATIENTS’ BLOOD PRESSURE READING MANUAL DEVICE (AUSCULTATORY)

Blood pressure measurements can be

affected by the position of the patient and

their physiological condition.

BEFORE BEGINNING A PROCEDURE

Ensure that the patient rests for at least five

minutes, then sits with back and feet well

supported, legs not crossed. Passively support

the patient’s lower arm and keep the upper arm

at heart level. The procedure needs to take place

in a quiet environment with no talking. Failure to

follow these recommendations can result in

inaccurate blood pressure measurements.

1. Select cuff size appropriate for the patient’s

arm circumference. The applicable range,

in centimetres, is printed on each cuff.

2. Wrap the cuff around the arm with the artery

index marker located over the brachial artery

and with the lower edge of the cuff 2.5 cm above

the bend in the elbow.

Apply the cuff snugly, allowing room for no more

than two fingers.

4. Inflate cuff rapidly to a level 30 mm Hg above

estimated (or palpatory) systolic pressure.

5. Partially open the valve to allow deflation at a

rate of 2 to 3 mm Hg per second. As the pressure

falls, note systolic pressure and diastolic pressure

detected with your stethoscope.

6. Rapidly release the remaining pressure and

record measurements immediately. After a

minimum of 30 seconds, repeat the above steps

for a second reading.
