How to: Measure Blood Pressure

- An introductory video explaining how to manually measure blood pressure. In this video, we are sharing with you the auscultatory method of determining systolic and diastolic arterial pressures. The cuff is placed above the antecubital artery and the cuff is above the upper arm. The stethoscope is placed near the antecubital artery and no sound will be hear when there is enough pressure to close off the artery. When the pressure is slowly released, the sound of blood jetting through the vessel by the vibrations of the wall is called the Korotkoff sounds. The first sound is also the systolic pressure. The diastolic pressure is when a muffled quality occurs. Please note that the sound is often overestimated because sound can still be heard even after deflation of the cuff. This method is not 100% accurate but will give values within the 10% range.
This information was written in the Textbook of Medical Physiology by Guyton and Hall.

You seem so relaxed and explain things clearly unlike my teachers. I learned more in this video than in a whole day of class. Thank you for the hope!
I agree, he did great..

interesting points ,if anyone else is searching for treatment hypertension try Nevolly Overcome BP Nerd (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbor got cool success with it.
He's so relaxed, his BP must be 90/20!
This blood pressure level solution t.co/GsO1JmyXtf works for me, right after Two weeks following this plan, my blood pressure level down Twenty points. Nonetheless, you will have to exercise for about 35 minutes a day. In general, I really feel more healthy now that my blood pressure is less than my usual.?
I literally came here because I was just curious on how to read blood pressure, I'm not a doctor, nurse or in any medical field whatsoever and yet this was so easy to understand. You explained everything so clearly.
Seriously though, medical schools should use your footage for training
me too! came here just out of curiosity and to learn more regarding these types ^.^
There is a few other videos they show actually how the cuff is suppose to be aligned he placed the Stethoscope right under that spot there didn't say that. The reason lot of people get wildly inaccurate numbers at home with a machine is because they put the cuff on in correctly not allowing for a 1/2 inch space between the elbow bend also not aligning the cuff correctly. Also cuffs say the arm range if your outside of that range it won't read correctly.

All this year in medical school didn’t learn how to check blood pressure the right way and finally his videos just so helpful he goes through every little details thanks 😊
HAHAHAHA damn howd you make it to med school without knowing how to properly check for the blood pressure
@@timesfly6382 wtf this is so rude for no reason. there's no need to laugh or be so condescending. it's very normal to learn about different skills at different times during one's learning journey.
I just spend like 3 hours trying to take my moms bp, and i couldnt hear jacksquat!
Then i watched the video and notced i had my stethoscope "off" , i had no idea those could be " off" !
Thanks a lot for the video, seriously!
Bp
yea i am probbably the only 13 year old that measures my moms BP and i had no problem with stethoscope but good you found out! 😁
@@Flolic55 Start out young! My mom is a medical assistant and I would practice on her using her stethoscope/blood pressure cuff since age 12. Now I am 19 and I am a Registered Medical Assistant, with hopes of becoming a PA later on. When I started out young, I realized I had a passion for this field.
This guide t.co/GsO1JmyXtf is among the list of best ways of fixing blood pressure level. Simple language is used to write it, meaning it is easy to understand and do. I strongly suggest this book for anyone wanting to lower his / her blood pressure level. I lowered my blood pressure below 120/80 using this plan.?
lolol that's so funny. I had no idea either.
A few too many inaccuracies for my liking and many other commenters have picked up on one or two...
1. The part that wraps around the arm is a CUFF. A Cusp is a segment of heart valve, or when your birthdate is close to borderline between two astrological signs(!!)
2. The stethoscope is not turned off or on with rotation. It has 2 sides, each specialised for particular sounds. The "bell" is better for hearing low frequency sounds and the "diaphragm" for higher frequency sounds. For brachial blood pressure, use the diaphragm side.
3. The bell must not be under the cuff. The edge of the diaphragm housing can be. Likewise, don't apply a lot of pressure to hold the stethoscope in place. That can result in inaccurate readings.
4. Open the release valve more gently, letting the air pressure down more slowly to get accurate readings. The needle is moving so far between each pulse in your video, that you'll only get rough readings.
5. Systolic pressure reading is not because of the heart contracting. When the cuff pressure is so high that it squeezes the artery shut, no blood passes to the point where the stethoscope is. As you release the pressure in the cuff, the first sounds indicate that blood is just getting past the cuff for a moment. The heart's maximum output pressure has just exceeded the pressure in the cuff. This happens to occur in early systole.
6. Diastolic pressure is when the cuff pressure has dropped to the lowest pressure that the heart still drives arterial circulation, just before the heart goes into diastole (where the atria begin to refill the ventricles)
Thanks!
Thanks mate
That's so true. I wondered why he called it Cusp instead of Cuff. Thanks a lot
Thank you for pointing these errors out.

For people arguing about the proper pressure to pump the cuff up to. This is a neat trick I learned being an EMT, where all we do is take manual blood pressures. Palpate the patient's radial pulse while pumping the cuff. Once you feel the pulse disappear pump the cuff around 20mmhg more and you will know around where their systolic pressure is. This stops the chance of pumping the cuff too low or too high for your patients.
In some situations diastolic is important. Particularly heart disease.
Totally outstanding tip thanks for sharing it!
Just learned that trick today. My preceptor said its a neat trick but never use that method unless you need to find the systolic. Because that method lacks getting the diastolic and thats important too. Still cool but not that useful
@@tc5290 True, but as an EMT, you generally only deal with emergency situations, where systolic pressure is much more important.
Sam Damon more important indeed but diastolic can indicate heart disease which is also important as an underlying factor or for patients general awareness. Important to do it properly as there is no point asking/answering questions later about why it wasn’t done if you had the opportunity but weren’t bothered. At least important for baseline
I don’t know why but this was always something I was confused about. Very helpful video (7 years later) - I was 10 years old when this video came out and now I’m a prospective medical student. Crazy how time flies.
omg same this vid came out when i was 11 now i'm a 3rd yr nursing student :)
Small tip for those that still stumble upon this video. When testing the stethoscope PLEASE do not tap because some are much more capable on picking up sounds and if you tap with them on, then it will definitely hurt your ears. A better way is to just gently rub you finger over it and listen to which side is louder. Which ever side is louder is the side you should use! Hope this helps to those that need it!
Thank you so much for explaining this. In my pre nursing class, I was told that the first beat was the systolic pressure, and the second beat was the diastolic. I was so confused in lab wondering why I was getting 120/110 lol NOW it makes sense. Diastolic is the last heart thump! Awesome! Thank you! 😀
RIGHT!?! other vids say to pump til 30 more than ur last diastolic reading...wtf, if I knew THAT, wouldn't be taking it in first place!! He's great.
@@lizhurgeton2637 they didn't say that .... actually u should add 30 more with the approximate systolic pressure (pulse obliteration pressure) which u obtained by pressing ur radial artery......
My cardi said go 40 over. tomato tomata
😂😂

Today was my first day volunteering in my local hospital. As soon as I went in, the nurse called me and taught me how to take blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation... I was nervous for my first one, but later I got the hang of it and did many after that- it felt amazing doing that!
Thankfully this is still on UA-cam. And millions of thanks for your explanation, on how to take Blood Pressure manually. It’s probably: The nicest - Most simply put - Comprehensive tutorial - I’ve watched; oh yeah, and that includes on any subject matter HaHa..!! Absolutely brilliant - Thank you very much
Marie Wallace, the purpose for going up to 200mm Hg is that it is a starting point for checking blood pressure.
Since you slowly let out air while listening to the brachial artery, you want to allow yourself enough time to hear the first rush of blood through that artery. For some people experiencing hypertension, that first rush of blood may be at 180mm Hg or even higher, which is why the standard starting point is 200mm Hg.
Hope this helps!
I have to agree. I always start at 200 mmHgs. The nurse use that number as well when I have to go to the doctor.
While measuring blood pressure the dial goes up and down early but sound in stethoscope comes bit late... So which one to consider for measuring bp
Wow, there's an amazing amount of critical comments on here!
Just wanted to thank you for mentioning about turning the stethoscope "on" and "off". I found that out the hard way when I was taking my Nursing program. And when I was asking other Nursing students about it, I found out that ALL the Nursing students I asked, were "faking" their readings. They didn't know how to take a B.P. - I should have clued in when all the Nursing students kept saying my B.P. was 120 / 80. I thought it was because I was walking everywhere.
Keep up the good work!
:)
+Hunter Chasens I know, but that's the word he used, and I thought it was amusing. :)
You actually do not turn the stethoscope 'on' or 'off.' The larger diaphragm side is normally used for adult patients. The smaller-diameter bell is used for pediatric patients, for maneuvering around bandages, and for carotid assessment. you switch between the two by twisting the connection. This video bugged me to no end.
Jesus Diedforyou and
Babu have had an amazing
Jesus Diedforyou technically it’s not turned off, it’s the other part that’s in use (for a different assessment)
The clearest and simplest video i have ever watched about it. Thank you very much...VERY HELPFUL
Thanks for taking it step by step and not skipping over too many points too quickly. Much appreciated!
One of the biggest problems with so many "how to" videos is that the instructor often assumes too much knowledge on the part of the listener. He or she has forgotten what it was like to be a total newbie.
Occasionally it's even worse. The instructor is more interested in showing off than actually helping newbies understand.
One question though. How would one go about taking one's own BP using the same equipment? Any special dos and don'ts?
Lay ur arm extended on flat surface. 7yrs later...and now u know!
Amazing video! My stethoscope was off and I had no idea. It was sooooo frustrating for me. I'm so glad to get this problem out of the way. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I walked in on my lab during this practice last night and hated myself for being late. Didn't have a CLUE as to how it was done properly but now I do thanks to the video :)
For many of you saying this was innacurate and had poor technicality I actually found it very easy to learn. He's to the point and easy to understand. I get confused with too much wording and dont learn correctly. This has definitely helped alot thank you! 😊👌
💯
Yeah....To many pesky details about how to do anything the proper way is just a waste of time. If your dentist has the same philosophy about learning dentistry, you would be talking out of the other side of your mouth. :)

Best instructions I've seen on this topic. Finally we know how to do this.
Ok, goose bumps like literally...well explained....Thank you so much.
Best blood pressure video on the net
Interesting video. I have been in EMS for 26 years and have never inflated the "Cuff" to an arbitrary number like 200. Your inflate the cuff until you can no longer hear the pulse, depending on the individual that could be 60 for an athlete or 180 or more for someone with CHF. Inflating the cuff more that what is needed in uncomfortable for the patient and could potentially give a false reading.
I have also been taught that way. I also call it a "cuff" not a "cusp" like the narrator.
@@lizcody1 It is "cuff". There is no such thing as a blood pressure cusp. No idea were he got that, unless it is a regional thing.
maybe a bicuspid
Thanks for explaining this Was like goodnite 200-too tight. In school taught the pulsating version and to add 20-30.
How beautifully you have to clear all complications which we have to faced while measuring blood pressure.. thank you so much for being here . I'm just in love with your teaching accent 💜💜..
Thanks this was helpful review. I was taught to release the valve (turn counterclockwise) a lot more slowly though.
This pandemic have me relying on UA-cam to learn this. This video was really helpful, thank you
Merissa if you are a high b.p patient then never use digital apparatus as i always shows 5 to 10 error.Manual apparatus is better and b.p can be controled by taking certain supplements too without medication
Great video; clear and concise explanation on how to take blood pressure that even a chipmunk could understand!
This goes to show that when you have a good knowledge of the subject and you are genuinely interested in sharing it you will do a good job explaining how to do it
Kudos ... you earned my respect and gratitude!
Good video....if you don't know your patients history you do need to go up to 200...there are many undiagnosed hypertensive patients walking around..you may actually save a life by not taking short cuts.....sure take your dial down just a tad bit slower but once you do this many times you can actually move that speed and get an accurate reading...good job...

Thank god for this, I was lost in class and I have to pass my CNA Skills test in a few weeks and I am so so so nervous I am going to get blood pressure!!
I have a practical exam later this evening and I am shit scared! This is a hugeeeee help! Thanks!
Which Medical College?
Spring cleaning& found blood pressure cuff..NOW to find stethoscope from last month's cleaning. Random medical equipment makes my blood pressure go up..THANX 4 VID!
That was very helpfull,thank you!:)
Great video, thanks a million. I just purchased am OMRON self taking manual blood pressure kit for $21 and the instructions are not clear. Thanks to this video I can now go ahead and use it with more confidence. I passed on all the automatic blood pressure monitors because it seems no matter what auto monitor, people complain about their inconsistency in providing accurate readings.
Thanks for posting, I am going to be a CNA so I need to know this stuff.
no one cares
Thank you! Couldn't find the digital cuff at work today so I had to take BP old school and had no idea how until I found your video.
I don't know why, but for some reason this video makes me less anxious when I feel stressed, because the more anxious you are the higher your blood pressure will be.
leptinwellness.com/high-blood-pressure-exercises-program/
This is a good video for those who are beginners, one thing though, he pumped it all the way up to 200, on a regular BP reading you should pump the BP cuff up 160 or 180 no higher than that unless the patient is having a heart problem than this is when we pump it up to 200 and so forth to see how fast their blood is going.
It was so easy and informative!! Loved it.
Azra Humayra Www wwww

this helped a lot. I have high blood pressure and me and my parents didn’t know how to really check my blood pressure manually. After watching this video now I know how!
Holy crap, dude you released the pressure off the sphygmo way too fast, otherwise good video.
Maybe he is just used to do the procedure and can immediately identify the beats in his sleep. My instructor uses the momanometer upside down lol
***** If you release the air too fast you see and hear a much lower pressure than the person really has
@Artsy Chic Here's a great method that I used to lower my blood pressure that you can try out: MaxHeart. xyz

Amazing video previously I watched 5-10 other videos this one is the best Short and clear . We’ll Explained. Thank you so much I couldn’t hear best until I used your method to correct my stethoscope.❤❤❤❤❤
This is a well made video, but there is an error in your procedure. You release the pressure at too fast a rate, and so there is an inaccuracy in your readings. The error is because you can hear the heart only when it beats, not when it's idle. Here's an example. Let's say the subject's heart beat rate is 60 per minute, or one a second. With the falling needle measuring mm pressure, the needle will fall past so many mm in a second's time. It looks to me that your needle moved at least 10 mm in one second around the systolic value. If the heart beats by chance just at the time the needle passes the true systolic value, you get an accurate measurement, but the heart is not likely to cooperate so well. Thus, your reading could be off by as much as 10 mm. For a subject with a slower heart beat rate, the error could be larger, and for a subject with a faster heart beat rate, the error could be lower.
xxxx,con
@@ananddevgade2935 BP video
Don't get why he would bother to make an instructional video and then release the air too fast. The instruction book that came with mine said to release it at 2-3 mm Hg per second. And also not to go over 180.
You did a good demonstrations. A big thumbs up for Mr.
Remember, the diastolic bloodpressure is the pressure between every heartbeat. When the cuff is tightly around your arm at 70, and let's say your diastolic is 60 mmhg - the cuff is creating a "bounce" on the blood during resting. When the cuff pressure go lower then your diastolic, it is no longer affecting the pressure and the blood can flow as usual without being disturbed, and that's why you dont hear anything
This is a really clear demonstration that will be helpful to anyone learning to take blood pressures. I would like to comment on how much you inflate the cuff. A more acurate and safer way to achieve the upper inflation limit is to palpate the radial pulse while inflating. When the radial pulse can no longer be felt take a note of this figure - deflate the cuff. Ask the person to wriggle their fingers then inflate the cuff to the noted level plus 30.After some practice this can be achieved in one inflation.
1. It's ok to put a small portion of the diaphragm (bigger part) under the bladder (the cusp) but don't put the whole thing with the bell (the smaller part) under the bladder, your pt is gonna end up with a huge circle mark on their arm, especially if your pumping to 200.
2. If you really want to get good at taking bp, take some in the back of an ambulance, the low rumble of a diesel engine sounds extremely similar to the low frequency of korotkoff sounds, throw in a siren and you become an expert real fast.
3. Don't ever take a bp using the needle bounce instead of sound, it's not the same thing.
4. Don't fake a bp, just retake it.
5. If you're gonna fake a bp, please don't say its 120/80, it's a dead giveaway.
6. Please don't give an odd number with a manual bp, it's impossible to obtain, round up or down. Especially if your faking it.
7. If your a new EMT riding with a medic, TAKE MANUAL vitals, It's easy to cop out and use the lifepack but your selling yourself short, practice!
I'm a senior in high school talking an EMT certification course and unfortunately, my teacher says that its incorrect when you base it off of the first and last beat that you hear (systolic/diastolic).The correct way to do this is to look for the first and last time the hand jumps because even as you let pressure go in the cuff you can still hear the heart beat and not get a true b/p reading.
Not sure why he doesn't palpate the radial to get a systolic estimate. That way you inflate the cuff to 30mmHg higher than their estimation, as opposed to going right up to 200. Also the cuff should be around 5cm above the antecubital fossa, it's too low and their should be no contact with the bell of the stethoscope and the cuff.

I have a doubt regarding how we will estimate baseline systolic using palpatory method.is the radial pulse reappearing area is systolic?
I've worked in health care for over 20 years, and except for just starting out, I have never seen any experienced practitioner adhere to those guidelines strictly.

I’m going to tell you about five common ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen that can cure high blood pressure. 1) Quercetin - A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has reported that a 200 mg supplement of quercetin increased levels of nitric acid in the blood, thus dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. But we saved the best for last. 2) Celery - A recent study based in China, published by the National Institute of Health (NIH), hails celery as a great natural option for reducing blood pressure. More than 87% of the participants showed a reduction in blood pressure after consuming celery regularly. 3) Melatonin - It’s been used for years as a natural sleeping medicine with no side effects. But surprisingly, an Italian research study published in the American Journal of Hypertension shows it also brings blood pressure down while you sleep. 4) Hawthorn - Hawthorn extract and hawthorn berries have been shown to have very good blood pressure-lowering effects, almost equivalent to prescription drugs. The best thing about hawthorn is that it not only lowers blood pressure, but also strengthens heart muscles. 5) Pomegranate juice - This elixir has enough medicinal value to earn the name ‘wonder fruit.’ Scottish researchers from Queen Margaret University have identified how amazing it works for lowering blood pressure.The most effective, quickest and easiest way to lower blood pressure naturally are 3 easy blood pressure exercises.

Being an Mechanical Engineer I enjoy watching your videos
Pumping it to 200 must really hurt.
200 to 220 should be.. Do you ever try it?
feels good to me.
Agreed
Should be pump to 220
But its still ok coz u’ll get a more sound
The stethoscope should not go between the cuff and arm, the cuff should be placed higher up on the arm right up near the armpit and the stethoscope should be placed proximally and medially to the antecubital fossa. Also personally I go down a lot slower, 2-4mmHg per second. This allows for accuracy. I was taught this as if you're going down too fast you could easily mistake someone from hypertensive, e.g. you said about 118, you want to be confident in your reading. Happy measuring :)
LeslieMatee only for you're too cute I'd moan about your cuff placement ;)

Wouldn't it be (slightly) better to use the left arm, since the left brachial artery is closer to the left ventricle?
shut up nerd
Yes, although it doesn’t make a huge difference
Sheesh! These comments are so critical! People are acting like he's their instructor! If this is the way he was TAUGHT how to do a Bp, then that's the person that taught him. He's not our (youtube viewers) teacher and we will NOT get an "f" if we follow or choose not to follow his method! Grain of salt ppl, grain of salt. GOOD JOB ON YOUR VIDEO!
The most i would pump it to is 180 and slowly deflate, But all in all this was a good video.
maxy dany I’m a Vascular Scientist. You pump up to approx 20mmHg above where you first occlude the artery not 180. Itbisbdefferent for everyone. You deflate much slower than he did on the video otherwise you can miss the signal returning particularly if there is irregular heart rate.

Man! fantastic, i was confused when my wife told me, I think she understands it different from what i was hearing... you made my day! thanks.
nice help btw.. but the part that pumping until 200 is not quite right to me.. hmm
Most of us go to 180 but in an emergency situation, which EMTs face daily, going up to 200 is best.
Very helpful! I was a mess in my anatomy class. Will try again.
Pumping to 200 is the way to go. on the field of ems you'll get pt's at 180 maybe even higher if there hyper
Gus Parera You're right, Gus. I am a care provider, and I have actually seen BP's in excess of 300 sys. a few times. A very scary situation, and most can't believe that the heart didn't 'explode'. Gods will, I know.

+Michael Matta Yeah when he said 200 i was like whaaat. We we're taught to got 30 above their normal systolic if it's known, or to palpate the radial pulse and pump the cuff up slowly until the radial pulse is occluded. And then go about 30 above that number.
+Jason Bajena Yeah at least in the UK that's correct. We do +20-30, so for most people pump to 140/150. I'm surprised she wasn't telling him she was in pain!
+Michael Matta 200 is pretty high I was told 20-30 above normal systolic which is 130-140mm Hg.
yeah I study massage therapist dont judge!! im not gay ! hey im 14 they teach me to pump to 200 I tried it three time cause I cant get the blood pressure the guy has alot of stretched marks lolol.
Yeah, my nurse teacher would get mad at us. We're told 160-180
I understood the process very well. Thank you for the clear explanation
It's CUFF
Not cusp.
Just FYI
Otherwise, great vid. Thanks.
LOL. I had to go back and listen to that video again. I didn't even notice the first time how he pronounce cuff. But, I sure listened this time where he is saying cusp loud and clear. Maybe he was thinking about his horoscope. LOL
Lol!
TheSisi786 Thanks for the Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Sayerdsan Vein Flow Secret (just google it)? Ive heard some super things about it and my GF at very last removed the blood pressure problem with it.

I have my AP bio test tomorrow. Thanks a lot for this!
You don't have to pump until 200. Your super systolic pump is 30 above from where you hear the first pulse, then you deflate at 3mm/hg per second until you hear the pulse.
So example you hear the pulse at 140, pump until 170, release 3mm/hg per second and listen for the pulse on the way down.....:P
With your explanations, you would not be able to diagnose someone with SBP above 200 lol!
bigmoney66b just wanna ask if are u a nurse or work with something to do in medicine?
bigmoney66b sss
sss
3sss
bp
I was taught to pump to 160... average number
Omg i just understood it now thanks to you! Gonna buy me a stethoscope and bp kit soon and try it out before class
Nice attempt to explain procedure, but this video includes several technical mistakes that will likely result in inaccurate readings. It would be better to revise this video to reflect proper technique or to delete it altogether. The primary mistakes are generalized over-inflation and way too rapid a release of pressure. Teaching people to take their blood pressure reading in this way can result in harmful inaccuracy potentially leading to moral liability associated with complications resulting from misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment based on incorrect readings.

joshrblaylock hi
Yes true, thank you!
1:36 “U might think that this person has no pulse” part is funny to me! 😂
what if the patient farts during this procedure?
Record sound & consistency to assess bowel function & tightness
Just laugh and pass
Suscribed becoz i like your explaining method. I buyed a digital bp moniter and its of no use and today buyed the same bp machine that you have in the video.
You really shouldnt need to go up to 200 if the systolic is going to be 110.
just creates more discomfort for the patient.
dan36920 My instruction manual says to go roughly 50 above your normal reading, in this case it would be roughly 170 for this woman.
+Hunter Chasens Agreed here. In the real world (okay, the world of EMS), we don't know what your pressure is going to be 90% of the time (on the first set of vitals, at least). I *always* shoot for 200 on an adult. And there's been plenty of times where the systolic has been 200+ so a few more pumps were needed. I'm with ya on that one!
+John Mullen take palapatory bp first
+SIVA PATEL yeah but then you need to wait a few minutes to get another one by auscultation to insure an accurate reading. Kind of a waste of time, IMO. I just shoot for one or the other, pump to 200 and roll.
