I need a clarificatin on taking blood pressures with LONG cuffs. Are these the same type of cuffs for obese people? The hospital where I work has LONG cuffs in every room. I am wondering if I am supposed to switch the cuff if the patient is average or smaller size arm? Confused if LONG is the same as LARGE......

the place where I work has BP cuffs that say LONG on them. They do not say Xlarge or anything like for a large person. They are cumbersome to use and I find I have trouble getting them TIGHT around the patients upper arm. So, is the LONG cuff going to affect the accuracey of the BP reading? Every BP cuff is like this where I work.
