How to Measure Blood Pressure Manually with a Sphygmomanometer #3668510 (License: Personal Use)

The illustration shows a clinician using a traditional aneroid sphygmomanometer attached to a patient’s upper arm, with one hand pumping the bulb to inflate the cuff and the other positioned to auscultate over the brachial artery. The gauge displays pressure in mmHg, and the cuff is secured snugly around the arm just above the elbow. This manual method remains a gold standard in clinical settings for its reliability when performed correctly.
