1) Identify an appropriate limb to conduct the recoding on.
2) Select appropriate equipment e.g Stethoscope and shygmomanometer.
3) Place the cuff of the sphyg around the upper arm (around the bicep and tricep), with the arrow pointing to the Brachial artery.
4) Palpate the radial pulse.
5) Inflate the cuff until the radial pulse can no longer be felt - this is your emtimated systolic pressure. Continue to inflate the cuff by 20 mmHg to ensure the artery is fully occluded.
6) Place the stethoscope over the brachial artery.
7) Slowly deflate the cuff (approx 2 mmHg per second)
8) When you first hear the pulse, this is your systolic blood pressure.
9) Continue to deflate until the pulse can no longer be heard (diastolic pressure).
10) Fully deflate the cuff.
You then record the pressure as systolic/diastolic
measuring the force of the blood during the contraction of the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) as blood is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body

Blood pressure is taken with a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope.
Blood pressure is not something is taken on goats. The normal blood pressure on a human should be below 140 and 90.
What effects are caused by using dandelion and blood pressure medication

Most blood pressure medications are taken as a preventive method or for controlling the rise of blood pressure. In light of this, a pro re nata (PRN) order from your doctor or cardiologist is unlikely. However, if the medication is for controlling acute systems of blood pressure, it is usually used pro re nata.
Systolic and Diastolic pressure measurements are taken. Systolic is the higher pressure measurement, when the heart ventricles are contracted, and Diastolic is the lower pressure when the ventricles are filling. So if somebody's blood pressure is 120/80, then 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure

Blood pressure in newborns is not a good indicator of health. Taking blood pressure of a newborn is usually not done unless there is an underlying issue (i.e. cardiac issues). Blood pressure is usually taken using the thigh.
No. Use the other arm or lower extremities if it's appropriate.
Your blood pressure can be taken with a mercury blood pressure gauge, an aneroid manometer, or an electronic device for measuring the blood pressure, as long as the device has been recently calibrated and validated. With rare exceptions, blood pressure gauges found in supermarkets or pharmacies aren't properly maintained and shouldn't be used.
You can find out if you have high blood pressure by having your blood pressure checked regularly. Most doctors will diagnose a person with high blood pressure on the basis of two or more readings, taken on several occasions. A consistent blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered high blood pressure, another term for hypertension.
Blood pressure is taken through an artery. Normal BP is highest in the artery side of the circulatory system and lower in the venous side.
