- In this video I demonstrate how to take a manual blood pressure on yourself. I show how to hold and manage all the equipment to make the process easier as you are learning the skill of taking a manual blood pressure. It is an essential skill for anyone in the healthcare field including nursing students, medical students, paramedic students or any seasoned healthcare professional. Once you have mastered how to take a manual blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer, you can feel confident that you are obtaining accurate blood pressure measurements since it is a more reliable method of taking a blood measure than with an electronic device.
Sphygmomanometer and Stethoscope used in this video:
PARAMED Aneroid Sphygmomanometer - Manual Blood Pressure Cuff: amzn.to/2ZixTV0
Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope: amzn.to/3gd8v71

Excellent explanation!
Thank you.
Such a great video! Thanks it helped me 100%
Thank you so much, there were some little tips which are not usually talked about but you included that in your video. Thanks once again
Great video, I'm a truck driver learning to monitor my own BP, learned a lot, thanks
Thank you so much for making this video. Great job including all the little details that everyone else glosses over! really needed this.
Awe I’m so happy it helped! 😊
Thank you for this video. I am taking BP medication so I am testing 3 times a day . I was using a digital one that only lasted three weeks. Chinese of course. I'm not going that route again because I really don't trust the readings anyway. I saw the manual kit is only $17 at Walgreens and feel it will last and be more accurate but I had no idea how to use one. Now I do and I'll be buying one tomorrow. Thanks again!
Thanks so much

Lol nice, i kind of miss those studying days… ☺️
@@thesunnyedge I'm always up for studying...and I love learning new things. 😊

Hi Sandra, thank you for this helpful video. I have a skills assessment test on vital signs coming up soon and I don't have anyone to practice on. Any helpful tips I could use would be much appreciated. Thank you again.
Ahh try to practice on yourself in a mirror. Talk to yourself as though you are talking to a patient. Really just get comfortable hearing those systolic/diastolic beats. Once you have perfected it on yourself it will be easier to take a manual BP on another person since you will know exactly what to listen for. Hope this helps! Best wishes on your skills assessment! 💕
I cant hear my pulse in the stethoscope,can I go by the needle on meter jumping?
Is the manual way of doing it more accurate than those digital machines? I notice when I do it with the digital machine the readings are all over the place.
Yes
As an older guy my hearing might be only 80 to 90% of normal. Do you think I have a shot at hearing that wooosh sound that you described so well? BTW your video is the best I have seen out of the 4 I have looked at. Great job!
Awe thank you so much! I study a lot before making any educational video so that means a lot to get that feedback. I think with a good stethoscope you should have no problem hearing the whoosh. Mine is the Littmann cardiology and sounds are very clear. With a cheaper stethoscope it may be harder to hear.
I have eye floaters. I seen my eye doctor and he ruled out anything major and basically said just to deal with them. What should i do to help me?
en que idioma habla, es ingles?
which stethoscope is that?😘
Will still have accurate readings if you do it on your own?
Yes, it will be accurate if done correctly. This video also explains tips to get an accurate blood pressure:

I love your content! I sent you an email about a possible collaboration. Hope to hear from you soon.
Nice colletion stethocope you bb❤❤❤❤❤
Why didn't you explain how to do this if you don't know your normal blood pressure. Really disheartening for people just trying to find put if they have health problems
Beware of videos like this. She didn't even get the artery marker of the cuff over the brachial artery which can mean you can be put on meds if the nurse gets a high reading and your readings at home are normal.
Tho it’s actually for health care training
Hi sandra from Nicaragua,i got a question to make you.
When i take my blood pressure manually,i hear a light whoosh ,then i hear a solid strong whoosh,which one is my blood pressure reading?
