Reading Blood Pressure

Welcome to this introduction to the skill of reading blood pressure. There are many parts to the skill of taking a blood pressure. This video is focused on learning to read the gauge. You will listen to several blood pressure readings.
You will then record your reading, so you will need some paper and a pen or pencil.

Thank you. I'm 16 years old and i was trying to learn to use the sphygmomanometer today and was able to measure my dad and my own blood pressure. I had to learn it for my dad who recently had a mild stroke and my mom who also has high blood pressure so I'm learning to use the sphygmomanometer to help them keep in check so I'm thankful for this video it helped me learn a lot

122/82
130/76
108/68
150/90
90/60
112/72
These were the numbers i got when i did this my first month of nursing school and watched this video. The standard is within 4. I was spot on or within 2 on all of these so i felt good. Anyway i wanna say to all the nursing students out there just starting school, this is MUCH easier in real life, when your instructor isn't standing over our shoulder and making you check off on it.

Really that's a very important spot for right now where it what is that site I was on the downside will be hundreds of the problem here

I have spent months studying best natural cure for high blood pressure and found a great resource at Wilfs Calmer Plan (google it if you are interested)

[@joseparziale9222]

There are a few components to natural cures for high blood pressure. One resource I found that successfully combines these is the Wilfs Calmer Plan (google it if you're interested) definately the most helpful blueprint that I've heard of. Check out the amazing info .

[@emmanuelnanaantwi]

I really appreciate and it very clear to read and understand. Thank you

[@zilettez6515]

This has been by far the best explanation ever! My NREMT is Monday & I kept having issues with the basics. I was a covid student& basically had to teach my self, didn't get to go on clinicals or anything. Thank you so much !!

[@ingrids.7044]

I'm in training to become a EMT, and its very stressful and when i'm stressed, I have a hard time thinking straight. This video really helped me truely understand taking vitals. Thank you.

[@tammywilkins1570]

I have been using this in my CNA class for two years. Great teaching tool.

[@makana68]

the most clear, easy teaching of this I have found on the web! Thank You!

[@zarirmarawala1938]

Great teaching tool! I used it for my class. With this remote learning, such posts are very valuable. Just a gentle recommendation: the needle moves too fast. The standard rule for blood pressure measurement is 5 mm/sec as you let out the air from the Riva-Rocci cuff. Sometimes, the rate of deflation was 10 mm/sec. An MD may be okay with it but to a newbie, this may be a bit challenging. If the needle were slowed down, (I don't know if the simulation machine can do that), then the readings would be much more accurate for the students. Thank you for making this fine video.

[@maddyw2841]

This is one of the better one out there. It has really helped me develop my ear to hear the BP sounds. I turn the volume down low so I can really test my hearing.

[@Harpiger]

Thanks! Great clear and easy to understand instructions and I loved the exercises at the end!

[@suhaillone9837]

wow its amazing.
i am medical student. i learnt how to recored the reading while listening to the sounds.
thanks for the perfect manipulation with simulator.

[@sandralevey4382]

This was Great!, I was withing the 4mmhg and and was exact for 2 of them! That makes me feel a lot better. Thanks again.

[@ghu_makkar_saurabh]

Beautifully explained, thank you so much... And the test was fun, I got 3 exactly right and rest all within 2-4mmHg :)

[@leslieshore1800]

This was an awesome video to teach the basics to a brand new student to the nursing field. Thank you!

[@kuntheaseth241]

Thank you for instructing. It is perfect !! 100 % help full; very professional.

[@fefek4637]

Thank you so much for posting this!!! Sometimes it is hard to know if I am hearing the sound at the appropriate time, especially that first sound, this is a life saver and I will listen again for practice sake!!!

[@Tiyonna92]

Thank you so much for this video!! Because of this video I was able to pass my skill check offs.

[@sugar-pill]

Exceptional tutorial. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge.

[@janethoward1553]

This is the best video I've seen so far!!!Thank You

[@jenniferkamm7854]

BEST VIDEO TO EXP;AIN, PRACTICE, AND UNDERSTAND!

[@gokusan2148]

I've been studying best remedy for high blood pressure and discovered an awesome resource at Wilfs Calmer Plan (check it out on google)

[@juliechestnut150]

I am a CNA instructor and this was extremely helpful for my students thank you.

[@katherinepapa1863]

Brilliant explanation, demonstration, and practice exercise… thank you so much 😊

[@marypignato1755]

Well done! I just posted this link to my CNA teaching shell to use in class! Thank you for this great teaching tool!

[@Thelosehina]

Oh my life you have just clarified everything within 10mins. I got 5/6 and 3 on the spot right. 1 was over the 4mmHg. But yeah thank you so much for making this video.

[@tammymclaughlin6594]

I love this video, is very thorough, better than the book or my instructor, on giving directions

[@panther105]

Super useful even for someone taking their own blood pressure. Thank you!!!

[@iriswolf3328]

Omg tytyty i Never understand this til now my teacher told us to add 30 to the beats you didn’t hear it when first pumping, and then decrease it til you hear the first beat on the down. I was like what…? And she still made it more confusing for me to understand. But this video here with the actual practice really helped out. It’s so simple and straight to the point, my professor just making us take the longer way to get BP done.

[@michelledavala8595]

this helped my daughter a lot with her science fair project. Thank you very much!

[@jahliatoulson7335]

this is definitely the BEST video to help practice reading the gauge! It was fast but GOOD!

[@vidsoodeen8785]

Oh my. This has certainly helped! Thank you sooo much.

[@susanhackman1455]

This is so well done. I would suggest showing the column of mercury rising to explain why that unit was chosen. It just makes it relatable. Thank you so much! (Middle school science teacher of anatomy and physiology)

[@jencollazo3240]

This helped me learn how to read the sphygmomanometer.. very thorough and easy to understand!!!!

[@aaronhodgden5851]

Thanks for the video, My mother just came back from the Heart Hospital and is required to have her BP monitored. Through this video, I have learned how to read the SYS/DIS was able to get within 2 on a couple of readings and exact on others.. 11/13/2014

[@sweetsexything9241]

Thank you so much I have demonstration tomorrow. Big help!! 🙏

[@theotv5522]

I really wish it was this easy to hear irl.
However, irl, there's always the sound of the plastic tube rubbing against each other while doing it and it can get really distracting from time to time

[@mpreyesmr]

Here's a good method that I used to lower my blood pressure that I recommend you try out: MaxHeart.xyz
