@dr.laraibasif28: *Part 1Blood Pressure Checking by Palpatory Method* The palpatory method, also known as the "palpation method," is a technique used to estimate systolic blood pressure by feeling the pulse. *Procedure:* 1. *Prepare the patient*: Ensure the patient is seated comfortably with their arm at heart level. 2. *Locate the pulse*: Locate the radial pulse (wrist) or brachial pulse (elbow). 3. *Inflate the cuff*: Inflate the blood pressure cuff to a pressure higher than the expected systolic pressure. 4. *Palpate the pulse*: Gradually deflate the cuff while palpating the pulse. 5. *Identify systolic pressure*: Note the pressure at which the pulse becomes palpable again. This is an estimate of systolic blood pressure. *Tips:* - Use the same arm for subsequent measurements. - Ensure the cuff is properly fitted and not too tight or loose. - Palpate the pulse gently to avoid obliterating it. - Take multiple readings to ensure accuracy. *Limitations:* - Less accurate than auscultatory method (stethoscope). - May not be suitable for patients with weak or irregular pulses. - Requires practice to develop technique. *Normal Blood Pressure Range:* - Systolic: 90-120 mmHg - Diastolic: 60-80 mmHg #drlaraibasif #viral #physiotherapy #tik_tok #lahorepakistan
