NBP Monitoring: Patient Preparation
Microphone Placement
A microphone is used to “hear” the Korotkoff sounds (K-sounds) that the
blood pressure monitor uses to determine the systolic and diastolic
pressure readings. The microphone can be placed in a microphone pad
and adhered to the patient’s arm under the blood pressure cuff, or
alternatively, it can be placed directly into the microphone pocket inside
the blood pressure cuff.
Placement in the Microphone Pad
Using a microphone pad is recommended. Place the microphone in the
pad as illustrated below. Do not bend or squeeze the microphone when
placing it in the pad, or when adhering the pad to the patient’s arm.
