5. Measuring blood pressure

5.1 Positioning cuff

Fit the cuff round your bare left upper
arm. Blood circulation in the arm
should not be restricted by tight
clothing or other objects.
The cuff should be placed on the
upper arm so that the lower edge is 2
to 3 cm above the bend of the elbow
and above the artery. The tube should
be in line with the centre of the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around the
arm, and fix it with the Velcro fastener.
The cuff should be fitted tight enough
to allow just two fingers to fit beneath
the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket
for the cuff attachment.
