Correct Blood Pressure Measurement Method:

Keep your heart parallel to the sphygmomanometer and your hand bent naturally. Before blood pressure is measured, the patient is given a few minutes of rest. Expose your left arm and lay your palm upwards flat. (It should be noted that the blood pressure measurement value of the right arm is generally low, and the left arm close to the heart should be chosen)!!

Wrap the cuff of the sphygmomanometer around the patient's upper arm. The lower edge of the cuff should be 2 3 cm from the cubital fossa, not too tight and not too loose.

Put on the stethoscope, feel the pulse of the brachial artery in the patient's elbow socket with your hand, and then place the stethoscope on it, and then you can hear the "thump" of the artery beating.

Of particular note are:

1.The elderly measure with a pressure increase of 200, and the middle-aged person with a pressure increase of 180, and then slowly deflate, and the first sound of the heavy bass is considered high pressure, and the same is the last sound of the heavy bass is considered low pressure.

2.When measuring, relax with your arms bent and palms facing up.

The first and second measurements should be at least 10 minutes apart.

3.In general, the first measurement is the most accurate when measuring blood pressure.

4.Measurements of the right arm are generally inaccurate and the left arm should be selected for measurement.
