Blood pressure measurement
About the Procedure
Blood pressure measurement is a simple, non-invasive method to assess the force of blood against the walls of the arteries. The procedure involves placing a cuff around the upper arm, inflating it to temporarily stop blood flow, and then slowly releasing the pressure while listening with a stethoscope or using an automatic monitor. The systolic and diastolic pressures are recorded, which help evaluate cardiovascular health. Accurate measurement requires proper positioning, a relaxed patient, and a correctly sized cuff. This procedure is quick, painless, and essential for monitoring heart health.
