Measuring Brachial Pressure. 1  1. Ask the patient to lie down in a face-up position. 2  2. Locate the brachial artery. 3  3. Wrap the blood pressure cuff around the patientâs left arm.  4. Inflate the cuff to find the systolic blood pressure of the 1  arm. 5. Deflate the cuff.
Inflate cuff 20-30 mmHg above the point at which the radial pulse disappears. Positioning the Stethoscope: The correct positioning of the cuff, as shown by the Artery Mark, and stethoscope for optimal measurement. Position the chestpiece in the antecubital space below the cuff, distal to the brachium. Do not place chestpiece underneath the cuff, as this impedes accurate measurement. Use the bell side of a combination stethoscope for clearest detection of the low pitched Korotkoff (pulse) sounds. Deflate the cuff: Open the valve to deflate the cuff gradually at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
