“If you choose to do this, you'll need a stethoscope, of course. This is something everybody learns in medical school and nursing school. But basically, let's just assume your blood pressure is 120 over 80. You're putting a cuff over on your arm and you have a stethoscope over the brachial artery, which is a little bit”
“to medial, you'll feel a pulse. That's your brachial artery. So, you want the stethoscope sitting there, you want the cuff about an inch above the crease in your arm. And while the stethoscope is there, you insufflate the cuff and you insufflate until you feel the loss of that pulse.”
