Inaccurate blood pressure readings can mislead clinicians and give patients a false clean bill of health. There are small mistakes that can easily arise when taking a patients blood pressure such as not having their feet to the ground, not lining up the cuff with the artery, placing the cuff too tight, and talking during measurement.
SunTech has provided us with a “Tips for Accurate Blood Pressure Readings” poster that reminds clinicians, in a fun way, on how to take an accurate measurement!
