How to tie a blood pressure cuff

A blood pressure cuff is a medical device specifically used for measuring blood pressure. It is relatively easy to use and very cheap compared to other medical devices. Therefore, patients with blood pressure problems can prepare a blood pressure cuff at home. However, before using the blood pressure cuff, you must learn how to use it correctly, because incorrect use of the method will not produce the correct blood pressure measurement value.

What is a blood pressure cuff?

The sphygmomanometer cuff belongs to the field of medical device technology and is used for blood pressure measurement. The blood pressure cuff is available in single-tube and double-tube specifications. The blood pressure cuff tube and liner are made of environmentally friendly, non-toxic, odorless, soft material. The liner is 0.3mm thick, reusable and easy to disinfect. Disposable blood pressure cuffs are also available on the market.

The blood pressure monitor cuff currently in use is fixed by adhesive. When the patient's blood pressure is too high, the cuff is inflated to a high pressure, and the cuff may become loose as the inflation pressure increases, resulting in large measurement errors and sometimes causing subcutaneous bleeding in the patient's arm. The technical solution of the utility model is that two ends of the elastic cuff are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the cuff and a lock buckle, the length-adjustable lock is fixedly connected to the other side of the cuff, and the ventilation tube is fixedly connected and communicated with the cuff.

Its advantages are: the structural design meets the mechanical requirements of blood pressure measurement, so that the cuff is firmly tied to the arm, avoiding the cuff from falling off. When the patient's blood pressure is high, the elastic cuff acts as a buffer to prevent excessive pressure from causing subcutaneous bleeding in the patient's arm. Its use makes blood pressure measurement more accurate.

The blood pressure cuff is characterized in that two ends of the elastic cuff are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the cuff and a lock, the length-adjustable lock is fixedly connected to the other side of the cuff (2), and the ventilation tube is fixedly connected and communicated with the cuff.

How to use a blood pressure cuff

1. Unfold the armband, put the black adhesive plate on the outer layer, and insert the metal ring (the original one has been inserted);

2. Wear the upper arm cuff on your left arm, with the tracheal interface on the extension line of the middle finger;

3. Tighten the armband, pull the tail back down on the outside of the arm and stick it firmly;

4. Glue the armband and adjust it slightly so that the lower edge of the armband is about one finger width away from the elbow.

5. Insert the trachea connector into the air hole on the left side of the electronic sphygmomanometer and you can start measuring.

The measurement of high blood pressure cannot be completed in one or two times, because the factors that cause the instantaneous high and low blood pressure are very complex, so repeated measurements are necessary to reach a conclusion.
