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.
Blood Pressure. As you have seen, blood pressure is a measure of the pressure of the blood against the walls of a blood vessel. Clinically, blood pressure is usually measured in the brachial (arm) artery, so our discussion will focus on this specific location. There are two components to blood pressure: Systolic pressure: The pressure in the artery during the ventricular contraction phase of the heart cycle. The pressure in the vessel is highest at this time. Diastolic pressure: The pressure in the artery when the ventricles are relaxed. The pressure is at its lowest point, though it does not drop all the way to zero.
