Precautions of blood pressure monitor
The bottom of the cuff should be 1-2 cm above the elbow socket of the arm
If the cuff is not worn correctly, the measurement results are different
Mercury sphygmomanometer requires that the user must receive professional training, and also cooperate with the stethoscope, so it is not very convenient for the family. Sometimes the measurement results are inaccurate, which is actually caused by the improper use of the patient.
For example, some people do not know the correct wearing position of the sphygmomanometer cuff, so the result of each blood pressure measurement is different. In fact, whether it is mercury sphygmomanometer or electronic sphygmomanometer, the bottom of the cuff should be 1 ~ 2 cm above the elbow socket of the arm. Some patients wear the cuff too high or too low, and the pressure has changed when the blood flow passes through these places, so the measurement results are not accurate.
In addition, some electronic sphygmomanometer cuff ranges from 22 cm to 32 cm, but the arm circumference of some users is larger or smaller than the applicable range of the cuff, so the blood pressure measurement value may be inaccurate. So be sure to have a proper size cuff and put it in the right position.
On the other hand, it is also important to set a time for blood pressure measurement every day. Some people measure their blood pressure. If they get up early in the morning, they measure their blood pressure at noon the next day. You know, people's blood pressure changes in a day is relatively large. Strictly speaking, people's blood pressure at every moment is not the same, and will change with people's psychological state, time, season, temperature changes, as well as the measurement of different parts and positions. Therefore, the time of daily blood pressure measurement should be fixed. Doctors suggest that the best time to measure blood pressure should be after getting up in the morning, when people are in a resting state, which can truly reflect the blood pressure level.
