Checking Blood Pressure  

Blood pressure measurements should be taken by trained personnel following established procedures.

Select the appropriate size cuff based on the patient’s arm circumference. The bladder width should be 40% of the arm circumference with the bladder encircling at least 80 percent of the arm; 100 percent for a child’s arm. Use of the wrong size cuff can affect the accuracy of the measurement.
