pressure determinations.
CAUTION! Proper blood pressure cuff size and placement are essential to
the accuracy of the blood pressure determination.
CAUTION! Any blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of
the patient, his or her physiologic condition, and other factors.
CAUTION! Blood pressure measurements should be interpreted by a
