Cuff Size and Blood Pressure

 

Taking the blood pressure (BP) by way of using a blood pressure cuff or sphygmomanometer is essential in checking your general health. An accurate outcome relies on a number of components, including the placement and the dimensions of the cuff. When the cuff is positioned inappropriately, it could cause a wrong reading. And a cuff that is too small or too large will greatly affect the outcome as well.
