4. Determine Systolic pressure
• After opening the air-flow valve, listen carefully for a pulse
beat. The moment you hear the faint rhythmic tapping or
thumping sound of the pulse beat, note the reading on
the gauge. This is your systolic (highest number) blo od
pressure.
• It may be different at first for you to detect the sounds
of the pulse beat, listen carefully and acquaint yourself
with these unfamiliar sounds. You should also notice
the needle on the gauge "bounce" when your systolic
pressure is reached.
5. Determine Diastolic pressure
• Allow the pressure to continue dropping at the same rate
as before 2-4mmHg per second. Listen carefully with the
stethoscope. The sounds you hear will change phases.
• From the first sharp tagging or thud, they will soften to
blowing or swishing sounds.
• Watch the falling needle. At the exact point when you can
no longer hear the sounds, read the gauge. This is your
diastolic (lower) blood pressure reading.
