Measurements made above the level of the heart will give reduced blood pressure readings<br />
while measurements made below the heart level will give increased readings. These errors are<br />
mainly due to the weight of the blood.<br />
The following guidelines should be observed;<br />
• When applying the cuff, make sure the cuff tubing is centered over the brachial artery.<br />
• Wrap the cuff for a snug fit to avoid prolonged pumping time. Do not wrap a cuff over the<br />
patient’s clothing.<br />
• Verify the hook and loop sections of the cuff are fully engaged when it is wrapped around<br />
the limb.<br />
• The limb should be positioned to be at heart level.<br />
• Do not compress the cuff or the cuff hose. The hose must not be kinked or pinched.<br />
