Measuring Pressures with PPG
Prepare the patient as described in section 5.1.2. Connect the cuff , sphyg, APPG adaptor and probe as shown:
Once a full screen of regular pulses is displayed, infl ate the Cuff slowly.
• As soon as the cuff pressure exceeds 30 mmHg,
a defl ate bar appears at the top of the screen.
• When no regular traces are visible on the screen,
begin to defl ate the cuff by lightly squeezing
the trigger release valve.
.
• Keep the defl ate line within the green range.
To measure brachial pressure, the cuff is positioned 2-3cm above the antecubital fossa while the ppg probe is
placed on any digit of the same arm. Carry out the procedure as described above.
