Ep215 Blood Pressure Cuffs

Automatic or manual? Battery powered or hand pump? Choosing the right blood pressure cuff is more important than many people realise, especially when equipment needs to work reliably during an emergency.

In this episode, you’ll learn about the different types of blood pressure cuffs, the advantages and limitations of automatic and manual devices, and why battery maintenance is essential for electronic monitors. You’ll also discover why cuff size matters, when paediatric or large adult cuffs may be needed, and what to consider when selecting a blood pressure monitor for your first aid kit.
