This is my first time writing here, so pardon me if I make any mitakes ? I'ver never taken manual bp on forearm before and an obese patient asked me to take a forearm bp. We are not allowed to take automatic pressure, so I tried it. Actually, I put the bp cuff on elbow and put the stethoscope on brachial. I got very small pulse sound, but I thought I got it. Now I came home and feel like it might not be her real bp. Now I am thinking about the right way getting manual bp on the forearm for next time. I searched on Youtube and I found one video, but no help since it did not really show where we place the stethoscope. Do you have any tips or advice on getting manual bp on forearm like where to place the stethoscope? Is it in the middle of the forearm where the radial artery passes or right at the wrist area? If you could explain as detail as possible, I will appreciate it. Thank you!
