cuff
 Hold the pressure gauge in
your left hand and the bulb in your right.
 Close the airflow valve on the
bulb by turning the screw clockwise.
 Inflate the cuff by squeezing
the bulb with your right hand. You may
hear your pulse in the stethoscope.
 Watch the gauge. Keep
inflating the cuff until the gauge reads
about 30 points (mm Hg) above your
expected systolic pressure. At this point,
you should not hear your pulse in the
stethoscope.
 Keeping your eyes on the
gauge, slowly release the pressure in the
cuff by opening the airflow valve
counterclockwise. The gauge should fall
only 2 to 3 points with each heartbeat.
(You may need to practice turning the
valve slowly.)
 Listen carefully for the first
pulse beat. As soon as you hear it,
note the reading on the gauge. This
 ASIA PACIFIC COLLEGE OF ADVANCED STUDIES

reading is your systolic pressure (the

force of the blood against the artery
walls as your heart beats).
 Continue to slowly deflate the
cuff.
 Listen carefully until the sound
disappears. As soon as you can no
longer hear your pulse, note the reading
on the gauge. This reading is your
diastolic pressure (the blood pressure
between heartbeats).
 Allow the cuff to completely
deflate.
D. Record your blood
pressure.
