INFUSIONS AS THE CUFF INFLATION CAN BLOCK
THE INFUSION

.
If the blood pressure cuff is on the same limb as a pulse oximeter probe, the oxygen
saturation results will be altered when the cuff occludes the brachial artery.
Intra-arm differences vary between people. Do not assume that measurements from
both arms are same.
When a cuff is going to be positioned on a patient for an extended length of time, be
sure to occasionally check the limb for proper circulation.
