orsweatersleeve)asthebloodpressuremonitorwillnot
beabletotakeapropermeasurementandthereisanel-
evateddangerofacquiringhematomaorskinmarksdur-
ingthecourseofthemeasurement.
• Incasethecuffdoesnotstopinflating,interruptthemea-

• Bloodpressuremeasurementscanleadtotemporary
marksontheskinatthesiteofthecuffplacement.Thisis
especiallythecaseinhighrepetitionrates,inhypertonic
patientsandinpatientswithweakpulses.Inrarecases
amarkmaypersistforacoupleofdays.Pleasecontact
yourphysicianaboutthesespecificrisksofcuffpressure
