I 'm. a student of medicine and tried several times to measure arterial blood pressure of people with my own manual sphygmomanometer and BTW i always receive the 120-100 range for systolic and 50-60 diastolic reading. that 's what I do and please tell me why? ? wrong measurment of? First I put the cuff around the arm just before the elbow and I put the stethoscope under the edge on? pi? lower. then begin to slowly inflate the cuff to a release of 180 mmhg.then pressure cuff finch? I feel the beat and the first known as systolic pressure and when the sound disappears. Known as the pressure dyastolic. cos? What do I wrong?

You have to put the cuff around their arm, not yours.
anything that 's exactly like you! did that ever feel that those where the right boiling point for those people, or perhaps the cuff is the wrong format for that person
This is a "mostrimi the how" and you should ask a fellow colleague or class instructor to watch you do the procedure and go from there.
