To avoid kinks in the hose, center the cuff bladder on the artery so that the hose is to
the left or to the right of the artery. Ideally, blood pressure measurements should be
taken with the cuff positioned at heart level. If the cuff is not placed at heart level,
adjust the displayed systolic and diastolic readings +8mmHg for each 10cm above the
heart and -8mmHg for each 10cm below the heart.
In selecting a monitoring site, make sure patient connections do not interfere with
each other. Dräger recommends that you do not put an NBP cuff on a limb that is
already used for other measurements.
