For the Correct Measurement of Blood Pressure
Let's Measure Blood Pressure Correctly.
It is important to observe the correct measuring method in order
to measure blood pressure accurately.
People with the following condition should take note. When arterial
sclerosis worsens because of diabetics, hyperlipemia, or hypertension, it may
cause peripheral circulatory disturbance. In these cases, the wrist and brachial
blood pressure values may differ greatly. If you have any question on the blood
pressure values measured at wrist, please contact the nearest OMRON dealer.
If your finger
touches the
shoulder, it is
the right level.
(1) Take a correct posture so
that the wrist cuff is at the
same level as the heart.
(2) Be sure to sit on a chair
and take a correct posture.
(4) Wrap the wrist cuff snugly.
Learn your blood pressure trend
In order to know the fluctuation trends of your
blood pressure, it is important to measure your
blood pressure at the same time every day at
home and recording it.
Furthermore, do not worry about your blood
pressure each time you measure. Ask your
doctor to interpret your blood pressure data.
Wrist blood pressure may differ from brachial pressure.
Wrist blood pressure is measured at a
different region from the usual brachial
blood pressure measurement and may
show slightly different value. In many
cases, the difference between the wrist
and the brachial blood pressures is
approximately ±10 mmHg both for the
systolic and the diastolic pressures in the case of healthy people.
(3) Relax yourself
by releasing
the tension
from shoulder
and arm.
For the healthy
people, the
difference is
approximately
±10 mmHg.
During the
measurement,
do not stare
at the display
but look at
something at
far.
