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 the cuff to determine a rough value for the systolic blood pressure. Now that you have a rough value, the true value can be measured. Place the diaphragm of your stethoscope over the brachial artery and re-inflate the cuff to 20-30 mmHg higher than the estimated value taken before. Then deflate the cuff at 2-3 mmHg per second until you hear the first Korotkoff sound â this is the systolic blood pressure. Continue to deflate the cuff until the sounds disappear, the 5th Korotokoff sound â this is the diastolic blood pressure.
