We now are widely used blood pressure measurement method is the application of vascular compression sleeve bring pressure methods. Inflatable, once the cuff pressure over artery systolic pressure, pressure vessel was closed, blood flow was blocked, the distal vascular artery pulsatility heard on the sound. Deflated later, when the cuff pressure within the artery systolic pressure below Vascular open, restore blood flow, arterial pulse generated sound, the sound heard artery pulsatility (auscultation audio), which is the pressure within the cuff pressure. Continue to deflated when the cuff pressure lower than diastolic blood pressure, blood vessels completely unobstructed, blood flow was no longer blocked artery pulsatility sound disappeared, at the cuff, which is the diastolic pressure. DBP to children artery pulsatility tone suddenly changed hours to determine more accurately the pressure. Because blood pressure measurement by many external factors, so the correct blood pressure measurement to perform the following tasks:
(1) choose a suitable device: general is the most commonly used mercury sphygmomanometer, the barometer of the device and electronic sphygmomanometer also commonly used. Sphygmomanometer cuff width of the upper arm should be able to cover the length of 2 / 3, the length of the cuff at the same time the need to arm circumference of the 2 / 3. If it is too narrow cuff blood pressure measured at the high cuff too long, measured blood pressure was lower.
(2) choose a suitable pressure environment: Patients should be in a quiet, temperature appropriate environment rest 5-10 minutes, with the sleeves of the arms should not be unduly fettered avoid under stress such as bladder filling or smoking, Daohan, a cup of coffee after manometry.
(3) the pressure to choose the correct steps: Patients admitted seat, the arm should be measured exposed, palms upward Horizontal, in the heart of the elbow, arm and upper torso was 45. Kok, with the lower edge of the cuff before elbow gap spacing of 2-3 cm, inflatable to disappear after torsion arterial pulse with 4.0 kPa (30 mm Hg), this was the largest inflatable level. If high pressure will be the result of high systolic blood pressure. If inflation reached 40.0 kPa (300 mm Hg) level, which will lead to “Airbag Inflators hypertension.” Then gradually deflated and a speed of 0.27 kPa (2 mm Hg) / sec, for the first auscultation audio systolic blood pressure, pulse tone for the disappearance of diastolic blood pressure (the old system units blood pressure reading should be accurate to 2 mm Hg). Inflatable oppression time not too long, it could easily lead to the false impression of elevated blood pressure.
