PE Exam 2

  1. Blood pressure controlled by 5 factors

  2. Error - patient is anxious, angry, or recently active
    False high systolic
  3. Error- antecubital crease is below heart
    Falsely high systolic and diastolic (because artery pressure + gravity)
  4. Failure to estimate systolic pressure
    False low systolic (miss 1st korkoroff sound)
  5. Cuff too short/narrow
    Falsely high systolic (needs excessive pressure to occlude artery)
  6. error- cuff too long/wide
