In some cases, rapid, prolonged cycling of a noninvasive blood
pressure monitor has been associated with ischemia, purpura
and/or neuropathy. It is recommended to apply the cuff
appropriately and to check the cuff site and cuffed extremity
regularly when monitoring at frequent intervals
8-foot
hose (Light Blue, Reorder No.
8840) be used with neonatal cuffs and the 12 or 24 ft. hoses
(Blue, Reorder Nos. 884118842) be used with infant through thigh

Place the cuff snugly on the patient as shown in Figure 5-1. In the case
of upper arm placement, it is recommended to place the cuff as
proximally as possible. Observe the mark on the inside of the cuff to
be placed over the artery. Be sure the cuff is snug, but not so tight as
to prevent venous return between determinations.
WARNING
Excessive tightness will cause venous congestion and
discoloration of the limb, but too loose a cuff may result in no
readings andlor inaccurate readings.

If it becomes necessary to change the cuff to another limb, make sure
the appropriate size cuff is used.
