No sound during BP measurement? Here’s why. The brachial artery sits deeper than you think — sandwiched between muscle, nerve, and vein. Place the cuff wrong. Hear nothing. Place it right. The Korotkoff sounds tell you everything. The rule: 🔴 Artery marker → directly over the brachial artery ⬛ Cuff → 2–3 cm above the antecubital fossa No gaps. No twists. Snug — not tight. Common mistakes that kill accuracy: — Cuff over clothing — Wrong arm position — Talking during measurement — Deflating too fast One misread = one wrong diagnosis. Know the anatomy. Trust the technique. 🔗 [ https://nilemedix.com ] #NileMedix #BloodPressure #BrachialArtery #ClinicalSkills #NursingEducation - @nilemedix
