Example Lower Extremity Arterial Physiologic

Non-uniform limb sizes result in variations in pressure. If the cuff is too small, it will result in erroneously high pressures. If it is too wide, the measurement will be erroneously too low. For instance: in small women and in children, it may be more appropriate to use the 10 cm cuff or even an 8 mm cuff to measure arm pressure. ................
