[brightstar881]

When taking a pulse you DO NOT use your thumb because you can get a FALSE reading.....

[stayclosex]

[89iron636]

...I think those years in med school has inflated his brain...err...and paycheck as well...he maybe should spend it on some Minoxidil too...

[mscardiomegaly]

haha...wow...all those years in med school...and he can not really produce a good example of how to read a proper blood pressure reading...he has his "fancy special" blood pressure device...deflating at 2 mL of mercury...blah...blah..blah

[Tidebeckons07]

didnt you read that he practiced in alternative medicine, ayurveda?

... i'm sure people can only guess what that weed in the background is. lol

[alwaysfaithful1110]

I can still hear a heart beat all the way down to like 50 when I check my own BP but my machine that does it says I am right below 80... What am I doing wrong?

[BootyBot]

[redalert375]

[soulsinging69]

1. he didnt measure the arm Length to determinate the correct cuff

2. hi didnt check the pulse (VERY IMPORTANT)

[khalody98]

[Soothfish]

Taking a blood pressure is incredibly difficult for people with bad hearing, especially in a loud environment.

[abdulazizmak]

me and my friend was trying to take our BP for almost half an hour but we still can't get it right.... BP my ass.....!!!!

[topeyfour]

Thank you sir. I am attending Sanford Brown.

[Joy11279]

thank you very much for helpful detail

[Jesvel18]

thank you!! soo much!!! you dnt know how much i want to hug you!! not in a bad way. i have my cna testing tomorrow and part of the skills is taking blood pressure. you explained it way better than my teacher did.

[softbrnskn]

Lol.. Have you critical people even check blood pressure instead of reading about it. Yes you do not use your thumb when checking a PULSE. As far as checking a patient's blood pressure your thumb does not conflict with the reading (knowing from experience) u do not hear the pulse in ur thumb at all when holding the stethoscope to the patient's arm.

[zacko781]

so informative thanks 

[JennelleBelle]

They are no longer teaching or using this method because it causes damage to the artery and are now using the two step method. Update.

[dan813r]

What about patients with poor circulation? One technique is to locate the brachael artery pulse point at the crease of the forearm, lay the bell over that point, and inflate the cuff till the pulse dissipates, then inflate the cuff 30 MMHG higher. I have an issue hearing the brach pulse through the stethoscope, is that due to poor quality equipment or poor circulation?

[kentygal]

call me dumb but i think the only time not to use your thumb is when checking a pulse. i really dont see where he went wrong

[mcdonaldpinas]

magaling pa ko sa inyo

[DasmaCalubayan]

@mcdonaldpinas

syempre pinoy eh

[meliexoxo]

where in the world did you study??

Are you license because if you are this is just embarrassing.

Sorry i don't mean to be rude!!!! but everyone knows your thumb has it's own pulse.

I think you should make a new video.

Your good a t making them but just fix that mistake and you are good to go.

[thehealthstar]

@meliexoxo I did not see him using his thumb anywhere--but yes it is true the thumb has it's own pulse thats why you use the index and middle finger to take the radial pulse :)

[thejohhny69]

wow this nigger is an asshole all the guys in expert village are just dumbass nigger. filipinos are much better maybe the best of the very best all time great in the field of medicine

[bebespider]

Wow, do NOT look @ this video if you need to pass a test. You are NOT supposed to touch the steth with your thumb,as it has a pulse of it's own! :-/. All that medical school for nothing. He isn't taking the BP the right way.

[thehealthstar]

@bebespider his probably just a new student---the white coat tricks you :P

[ieatpussy4meryenda]

@bebespider he's taking the BP by LISTENING to the korotkoff sounds. He's not palapting it with a stethoscope. Btw, the new edition of Bate's guide to PE acutally allows the use of the thumb in taking the pulses (esp in the carotid and the radial artery).

[girlsixdiva]

He needed to immediately remove the cuff when he was done.  That can cause nerve damage!

[joecoaker]

doesnt that idiot know not to put ur thumb on there. it has a pulse of its own. wow some doctor

[broam018]

Very clear.

[BeachBoysGuy1]

I took my CNA RC exam yesterday and even though the lady said I had the correct reading, she failed me because the cuff should've been 2 inches higher !!

[stacykr22]

omg than u so so so so much now i no i will pass my practical

[itsonlybusiness]

I'm currently in nursing school and have just learned this. I had some trouble understanding this in the midst of 20 min.  in a crowded class going over it. This answered what questions I had. THANKS WHITE COAT!

[tinacroft]

Thank you that would be useful for me as a new student , Bless you (=

[litebug12345]

I've been taking Levodyn for about a year. I've noticed that my blood pressure has gone down and stabilized, and I no longer have to take chemicals which had negative side effects. Levodyn just makes me feel better. I have recommended this product to people and my brother is now taking it with similar positive results.

[cavstar92]

ah, ah, um, um, ah

[AndrewKFletcher]

[stephdgarcia]

[samloulou]

Thank you !!!

[gonzo122459]

Thanks Doc! This is great for new students!

Thank you for sharing this!

PS - The only thing you might want to add to help us newbies is to mentioin that elbows bend and to make sure the bell is FLAT on the skin and to listen for the last DISTINCT sound for the diastolic number.

THANK YOU!
