Step 7: Modify a Blood Pressure Cuff
Ares’ blood pressure can be taken using non-invasive monitoring techniques; however, modifications
to a standard blood pressure cuff are required.
The following tools and equipment are required:
• One (1) Standard Adult Blood Pressure Cuff
• Scissors
• T-shaped blood pressure adapter (included)
• Cable Ties (included)
Modified Blood Pressure Cuff
To modify a standard blood pressure cuff:
a. Cut the tubing attached to the gauge approximately 9 cm from the cuff.
b. Locate the T-shaped blood pressure adapter.
c. Insert the barbed connectors into the cut ends of the blood pressure cuff tubing.
d. Secure the tubing connectors with cable ties and trim the cable ties with scissors.
e. Connect the extension from the long end of the T-shaped blood pressure adapter to the
NIBP port on Ares’ right side.
f. Attach the blood pressure cuff to the manikin’s arm. The blood pressure is ready to be
auscultated with a stethoscope.
