WRAP CUFF AROUND UPPER LEFT ARMBefore beginning the measurement, relax your body with two feet on the ground for 5 to 10 minutes to stabilize the heart rate and blood pressure. Ensure the cuff is directly touching the skin. Wrap the cuff around the upper left arm and check the tightness of the cuff by putting two fingertips underneath. |
INFLATE & DEFLATE CUFFStart inflating the cuff by squeezing the inflation bulb rapidly until no pulse sound comes through the stethoscope. Stop squeezing when the gauge reads 30 to 40 mmHg above your normal blood pressure. Stop pumping in air and start deflating the cuff by twisting the screw counterclockwise to open the airflow. At this point, the pressure gauge readings should fall 2 mm or two lines per second. |
TAKE MEASUREMENTSNote the readings on the pressure gauge when you first hear your heartbeat. This is the upper, or systolic, pressure number. Then note the readings on the pressure gauge when the sound of your heart throbbing disappears. This is your diastolic reading. |
