The standard device for blood pressure measurement is a sphygmomanometer. The patient should be in a sitting position and an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the top arm. It restricts blood flow when the cuff is inflated. The pressure is measured with mercury or mechanical manometer. The correct size of the cuff should be used. Inaccurate reading can result in the wrong size. The cuff is inflated until the artery is fully blocked and the pressure is slowly released, and the doctor listens to the brachial artery on the elbow with a stethoscope. The pressure at the start of the sound is systematic blood pressure. The pressure is further flattened until there is no sound. The pressure at this point is the diastolic blood pressure.
