Caption:
This image depicts a female clinician measuring the blood pressure of a seated male patient in a clinical setting. The healthcare provider is using a sphygmomanometer, consisting of an inflatable cuff encircling the patient’s right upper arm and a pressure gauge that measures changes in pressure within the cuff. Using a stethoscope positioned over the brachial artery, the clinician listens for Korotkoff sounds to determine the patient’s systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
