the cuff.
The width of the cuff should be 40% (50% for neonates) of the limb circumference,
or 2/3 of the upper arm’s length. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long
enough to encircle at least 50% to 80% of the limb.
5. Apply the cuff to the patient’s upper arm or thigh and make sure the Φ marking on
the cuff is aligned with the artery. Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb.
It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the extremities. Make sure that the
edge of cuff is within the marked range. If it is not, use a cuff that fits properly
.
6. Connect the cuff to the NIBP hose. Avoid compression or restriction of NIBP hose.
Air must pass unrestricted through the tubing.
