Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement
Always take readings at the same time of day, under the same conditions.
Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of smoking, drinking coee or
tea or any form of exertion. These factors will inuence the measurement.
Ensure at least 5 minutes of quiet rest before measurements; if possible,
10 minutes of rest are recommended. Try to always use the same resting time
before taking a measurement.
Always measure on the same arm. The left arm is recommended. Do not move
or speak. Sit comfortably, keep your legs uncrossed and feet at on the oor,
back and arm supported.
Place the cu in direct contact with the skin. Do not wrap the cover over
clothing.
If you want to take multiple measurements, wait approximately 5 minutes
before repeating.
