In humans, blood pressure is usually measured indirectly with a special cuff over the brachial artery (in the arm) or the femoral artery (in the leg). There are two pressures measured: (1) the systolic pressure (the higher pressure and the first number recorded), which is the force that...

A self applied blood pressure cuff particularly for use with ambulatory blood pressure products and suitable for use on either the left or right limbs of the patient is disclosed. The cuff includes an elongated, flexible band having a body side face and an outward face and a compartment. It ...
socioeconomic status.23In a sample of 179 pregnant women, Hogan et al. found that 14.5% required a large cuff (35–44 cm) based on their MAC.28In 220 pregnant women, Kho et al. found that the difference in blood pressure readings obtained from a standard cuff or large arm cuff ...
Ideal noninvasive measurement of an LVAD patient’s blood pressure involves inflating a manual arm cuff and then slowly deflating it, assessing for blood flow using doppler ultrasound.16 The first evidence of flow heard is generally denoted as the mean arterial pressure (MAP) as the patient’s ...
blood pressure (BP) values obtained with two devices: reference auscultatory device always in correct position and test device (either auscultatory or oscillometric) in varying positions Systolic BP Diastolic BP Position of test device cuff Test device: auscultatory, appropriately sized cuff (Main ...
Errors in blood pressure measurement can result from failure of the cuff to reach and compress the artery. The cuff diameter should be 20 per cent greater than the diameter of the limb, the bladder of the cuff must be centered over the artery, and the cuff must be wrapped smoothly and sn...
During measurement of CBF, the left foot region was excluded by inflating a pediatric cuff placed round the ankle to levels greater than a pre-determined systolic arterial blood pressure. With the strain gauge in situ, pre-measurement trials of venous occlusion were made to establish satisfac- ...

Introduction Blood pressure is the main driver of blood flow through vessels, which leads to blood circulation in the body. It ...
An automated home blood pressure machine can be purchased for patients to use at home. Although these machines are typically easy and convenient to use, the accuracy of the measurement depends on the proper positioning of the patient and placement of the cuff. Moreover, readings can be inaccurat...
