What are the tips for accurate blood pressure measurement?

Introduction: In today's society, more and more people pay attention to health preservation. With the improvement of living standards, people's quality of life as well as eating habits have improved.

Among them, breakfast is becoming more and more nutritional, and most people will choose to eat bread and drink milk. Lunch must be full and well-eaten, so you will choose rice and corresponding food, but it should be noted that you should not overeat. Because this will lead to bad eating habits, it will also cause a series of diseases in the human body, which is not conducive to the health of the body.

At the same time, it also brings a certain amount of trouble to the family, so you should often go to the hospital for physical examination to find out your own problems in time.

Choosing the right toolThrough the doctor's recommendation, you can learn that the tools on the market for measuring blood pressure include electronic blood pressure monitors and mercury column blood pressure monitors. It is important to note that the two measurements are different. The electronic sphygmomanometer is relatively simple to operate, and the correct results can be achieved by mastering the content of the manual, but the blood pressure monitor like the mercury column type is often not easy to control and requires a certain amount of learning, and at the same time, you should consult the doctor to understand the relevant knowledge, so as to master the skills.

Maintain a good attitude when measuring in the purchase of relevant blood pressure meters, understand the corresponding operation methods, and master the skills. It is necessary to maintain a good attitude when measuring, if you are too nervous, it will lead to blood pressure height. At the same time, you need to control your breathing and adjust your mentality to the point of calmness, so as to facilitate the measurement of blood pressure monitor.

At the same time, you can get more accurate data, which is convenient to determine your blood pressure, and you can find problems in time and get further **.

The first thing to note is that the mercury column blood pressure device needs to be placed in the process of abandoning the obvious part of the human pulse when the blood pressure is measured. It is necessary to take multiple measurements, and the arm should be at the same angle as the heart to ensure that the measurement is accurate.

First of all, you should measure your blood pressure twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening after eating, so that you can make a comparison and don't be too nervous when measuring your blood pressure.

At this time, we must let the muscles of the arm relax, and then keep the inner stability, before measuring high blood pressure, we should not eat anything, so as not to affect the accuracy of the measurement, and it is best to measure both arms, which can improve the accuracy.

If we want to measure blood pressure accurately, we should master the method of using a blood pressure monitor, and we must not use an electronic manometer, and when measuring blood pressure, do not tie the straps on our arms too tightly, and keep our mood calm, so that we can accurately measure our blood pressure.

Before measuring blood pressure, you can't eat breakfast, don't drink water, so that the blood pressure measured is more accurate, and you must choose the right blood pressure device so that it can be accurate, you can't do strenuous exercise, you must keep your mood comfortable, don't be overly angry.

1.The most correct way to measure blood pressure: take a short rest before the test, and take a sitting or lying position with one arm to the shoulder (the cuffs are not too tight).

Straighten your elbows with your palms up, (so that the brachial artery is at the same level as the heart.) When sitting, the brachial artery is flat, and the fourth costal cartilage is lying in the midline). Flatten the sphygmomanometer, drain the air in the cuff, and wrap it flat and unfolded around the middle of the upper arm.

If it is too tight, the blood pressure will be low, and if it is too loose, it will be high. Feel the pulse point of the brachial artery at the elbow, prevent the stethoscope from the brachial artery pulse point of the fossa, close the valve, hold the balloon and pump until the brachial pulse sound disappears, hit about 20 mm of the tribute column, slowly prevent the valve from opening, make the tribute column slowly descend, and pay attention to the scale of the tribute column. When the first pulsation is heard, the scale referred to by the gong column is systolic blood pressure, and when the pulsation sound suddenly decreases or disappears, the scale referred to is diastolic blood pressure.

2.The statement that the left hand is a measure of the heart is incorrect; 3.When the first pulsation is heard, the scale referred to by the gong column is systolic blood pressure, and when the pulsation sound suddenly decreases or disappears, the scale referred to is diastolic blood pressure.

Answer: Theoretically, it is more accurate to measure blood pressure while lying down, and the left hand is closer to the heart, so the measurement is more accurate.

How to measure blood pressure correctly First of all, it is best to sit and rest half an hour before the measurement, and do not read books, TV, mobile phones, etc., so as not to cause blood pressure fluctuations.

As mentioned above, hehe, male, am I very smart?

1Why do I need to read a measurement for higher arm blood pressure?

A: For the first measurement, blood pressure in both arms is checked and higher arm blood pressure is recorded as an arm for further monitoring. Because the right brachial artery comes from the innominate artery, the first largest branch of the aortic arch, and the left brachial artery comes from the left subclavian artery, the third largest branch of the aorta, blood pressure in the right arm is 10 20 mmHg higher than in the left due to capacity depletion.

If there is a 20 mmHg difference in blood pressure between arms, it should be measured again on a different day. Chinese guidelines consider that a duration of 20 mmHg is highly suggestive of aortic arch coarctation and upper extremity arterial occlusion.

A: No, you can't! Blood pressure is measured by having the patient put their feet on the floor and not cross their legs.

When the legs are crossed, it causes the body to tilt, which affects the blood pressure level, and sometimes the high blood pressure level caused by sitting can reach the high blood pressure level that is considered to be acceptable.

Crucially, when the doctor reminds him to return to his normal sitting position, the blood pressure will rise to the previous level again. And people at high risk of blood clots are better off not crossing their legs for long periods of time, because for them, the obstruction of blood flow increases the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis.

A: When measuring blood pressure, the arm should be straightened naturally and not forced, even if you hold a mobile phone or a book. Because changes in blood pressure are related to the way the muscles move, such as when you make a fist continuously (which is an isometric contraction exercise), your blood pressure will increase.

In contrast, with exercises dominated by isotonic contractions, blood pressure rises at the beginning of exercise, and then blood pressure gradually returns to normal due to redistribution of blood flow and changes in plasma volume.

Answer: When measuring blood pressure, the cuff size should be correct, otherwise the cuff that is too tight on the upper arm will cause the measured blood pressure to be high. To avoid pressure on the cuffs of the garment's tight cuffs, the sleeves should be removed and blood pressure measured on the bare arm.

A: No, you can't! At the same time, when measuring blood pressure, the elbow and heart should be at the same level, and if there is a difference between the height of the limb and the heart, it will also affect the blood pressure measurement result.

And pay attention to the blood pressure measurement, the palm of the hand is up, the arm can not move, can not speak or move, otherwise the accuracy of blood pressure will be affected.

After reading this, do you feel that when you measure your blood pressure again, there are still so many details that you really haven't noticed? Then, after this study, when measuring the patient's blood pressure, let him put down the mobile phone in his hand and put his feet on the ground.

1. Before measuring blood pressure, it is necessary to take sufficient rest, keep the heart calm and breathe steadily, and the results will be accurate;

2. Sit at the diagnosis and treatment table, stretch out the right upper limb, wrap the cuff used to measure blood pressure around the upper part of the right upper elbow fossa joint, pay attention to the lower edge of the cuff is about two centimeters above the elbow fossa, and the tightness is subject to being able to put in one finger, put the stethoscope on the most obvious part of the elbow fossa joint sound, and then start to inflate, wait for the heartbeat sound to disappear and then continuously inflate more than 20mmHg, then stop inflating, slowly deflate, hear the first heart sound as systolic blood pressure, hear the sound of the beginning of the voice change or the sound disappears as diastolic blood pressure.
