Great video and tips! Taking BP was very difficult for me until I learned the proper placement of the diaphragm as outlined in your video. Excellent suggestion to first palpate the brachial artery, as well as the tip on placement of the stethoscope in your ears.

I use a tight enough band to hold the chest piece snugly next to my artery in the fold when taking my own blood pressure. When I take my own blood pressure I have never used my thumb and don't put the stethoscope under the cuff anymore. However, this video is really informative and should be watched because it shows where the brachial artery is where many nurses act like it don't even exist. So my NP is about to get a few lessons in the skill of taking blood pressure.

I like the palpate brachial artery first tip. That will help me; I will find out tomorrow! Now, I just need to figure out how to manage working with heavy clothing. The stuff I am doing does not require me to cut clothing.

Thank you for the helpful tips! Be mindful that nurses and clinicians are also taught to palpate before auscultating. Choosing not to do so is solely an individual's choice and not that of a specific group.

Nursing student here. This is lovely overview, and I did indeed test out the thumb thing - much easier placement! I just wanted to highlight the importance of palpating that brachial pulse for the maximum impulse. There's nothing more embarrassing than messing up a BP reading because you've placed your steth improperly. And in an emergency situation, you really don't have the time to screw it up.

BP's killed me (though I got results just slow) especially on a moving ambulance. Amazing tips, thank you so much!

Thank you. This was an awesome review for why we do what we do. Do you have any opinions on using diaphragm versus bell? What about clinical settings?

Very nice video...BUT....could you tell us about the approximate 80% rule for circumference of cuff to arm length?
@MyOwnGuitarHero
8 жыл бұрын
Amy Sidious the 80% rule refers to the length of the bladder. The cuff SIZE should be 40% of the arm circumference. Selecting a cuff that's too small could give you a false high reading, while a cuff that's too big can give you a false low. I personally have had to use a child cuff on very thin patients to get an accurate reading. Just remember, it should be tight enough that it doesn't readily slide (so make sure that when you attach the cuff, you attach it right the first time!) but you should be able to slide a finger between the cuff and the skin.

Why are you holding it with your thumb? You can actually pickup your own pulse if you use your thumb instead or two fingers on the sides.
