Blood Pressure Facts : How to Check Blood Pressure




Check blood pressure by fitting the cuff snug on the arm, placing the gauge where it can be seen, but is still in line with the brachial artery, and putting the stethoscope over the brachial artery, as well. Pump up the blood pressure cuff and listen for the first and last beats of the heart with instructions from a nurse in this free video on blood pressure.

  1. The bell can’t pick up a pulse from where her thumb was positioned. You have to make sure you’re not using your thumb when taking a pulse. Her thumb wasn’t touching the diaphragm so she was fine.

  2. she sure
    is cheery.. wow..

  3. a bit wrong your method….

  4. This tells me nothing and or teaches me nothing.Try becoming a teacher and learn how to teach,so those that are watching get something out of it.

  5. Some of the most important details were not explained (how to recognize the 1.bloodflow, etc)

  6. This video is useless, no blood flow hints or advice, and first she is using her thumb on stethoscope which is incorrect because the thumb has its own pulse

  7. this is horrible !

  8. @girlsixdiva

    No, it can. This is a stethoscope with double-head (whatever the proper english term). It is developped for adult and children measuring. Look: a big one (on the patient`s arm) and a little one where she has her finger on. This would take the baby`s values and can now take her’s.

  9. @WundertGarNichtsMehr ok it appears many of you need to brush up on your stethoscope skills. Go to ehow and it will explain how to use a dual head stethoscope.

  10. this old hag sucks lol

  11. STFU!!!

  12. what a crock of shite

  13. you dont use your thumb when you take a patients pulse

  14. She one of the only one to tell you how to determine the numbers.

  15. @dumbfuckism

    the thumb has a pulse (feeling) not a beat (noise) so it doesnt matter if u use ur thumb or not on the stethoscope just as long as u dont use ur thumb to palpate a pulse

  16. This is sooooooo wrong, she was not suppose to use her thumb to hold the stethoscope……..OMG

  17. Who wants me to cheek there Blood Pressure? I know how.

  18. @1994Tino wtf country u from??

  19. @girlsixdiva her thumb belongs up her ass

  20. Who wants there blood Pressure cheek? I know how to do it.

  21. @mohammedlovespork What do U mean by that?

  22. thats funni…………”pump up the gauge what you think it might be” makes me laugh…..hehe

  23. first of all she doesnt know what shes doing your not suppose to use your thumb to hold the stethescope because you have a pulse in your thumb! you can be checking your own pulse! and you should increase the gauge till like 120.

  24. um their is one thing wrong in this video first when you are pumping the gauge my nursing teacher told us to pump too 140 then let a lil of air out lil at a time till you dont hear the pulse anymore.

  25. pump it up to what you THINK it might be???? Who is this women!
