Placing the Cuff
When fitting the cuff, place the center of the cuff inflation bag over the
artery (for the brachial artery, place over the inside of the arm above the
elbow). Make sure that the cuff fits securely on the limb and that the
INDEX
line falls between the two
RANGE
lines. If the
INDEX
line does not
fall between the
RANGE
lines, select a smaller or larger cuff. Refer to
Figure 15-2.
The cuff can be used on either the right or left extremity, but the left is
usually preferred.
NOTE:
Do not place the cuff on a limb being used for infusion.
For accurate blood pressure measurements, position the cuff at the same
level as the patient's heart. Placing the cuff above the heart causes the
reading to be falsely low; placing the cuff below the heart causes the
reading to be falsely high. In instances where you cannot place the cuff at
the same level as the heart, use the following general rule.
•
For every inch of elevation above the heart, add 1.8 mm Hg to the
reading.
•
For every inch of elevation below the heart, subtract 1.8 mm Hg from
the reading.
