Noninvasive Blood Pressure Cuff

• Function
  • Measures blood pressure by an inflatable cuff
  • Automated cuffs most commonly use oscillometry (Figure 1.7)
• Clinical Considerations
  • The extremity should be measured at the level of the heart
  • Bladder length should cover 80% of the upper arm circumference [5]
  • Bladder width should be >40% of upper arm circumference [5]
