Oh my goodness!!!! I just want to say thank you!!! I am taking a CNA class and blood pressure is a skill I need to learn and I was really starting to get discouraged because I was never able to hear anything through my stethoscope. I tried 3 differents steths thinking that was my problem but never did I realize it was the location of my diaphram that was all wrong. I tried your technique and I heard the beats loud and clear. I was also not putting the cuff on properly. U are truly a life saver
Thanks for your comment. I think a proactive solution would be to concentrate on teaching effective blood pressure to students of all ages to reduce 'bad experiences.' After all, age is not a reasonable measure of an individual’s
ability to learn or perform lifesaving skills or even simple vitals.
i wont let anyone take mine ever because i had so many bad experiences with ems providers with care especially when i took an ems course i think if they are good they can do it right but students under the ages of 20 should not good video good presentation
@teddygirl2009 I am 19 and was 18 when I got my emt certification. If taught right then it should not matter the age of the person taking the blood pressure. I have not had any complaints when taking blood pressures let alone patient care.
I've been making that common mistake on BP cuff placement. Thanks for the advice, your videos are what I've been searching for on YouTube.
