    This document provides instructions for performing a tourniquet test to check for petechiae. The test involves taking the mean blood pressure by adding the systolic and diastolic pressures and dividing by two. A cuff is placed around the arm at the mean blood pressure and maintained for 5-10 minutes. The area under the cuff is then checked for petechiae using a 1x1 inch opening, with a positive result being 20 or more petechiae per square inch.
