 Step 1
 1. Wrap tensimeter cuff on the upper
arm (left or right) above the elbow. The
cuff is wrapped in this section because
there are blood vessels artery that
comes directly from the heart. These
vessels lie close beneath the skin, also
called the brachial artery.
 Step 2

 2. Strive tensimeter placed as high /

parallel with good heart in a sleeping
position or sitting / standing. Hands are
examined in a relaxed state.
 Step 3
 3. Close the air regulator valve on the
pump rubber cuff tensimeter by turning
to right until the end.
 Step 4
 4. The stethoscope is placed on your
ear, flat section attached to the inside
of the elbow crease on the bottom coil
cuff.
 Step 5
 5. Pump air into the cuff was by
squeezing the rubber pump repeatedly
until pressure shows / reach 140
mmHg. The pressure is on the basis of
140 mmHg over 20 mmHg systolic
pressure expected in normal adults
(not suffer from hypertension) is 120
mmHg. When examined is a patient of
hypertension, then again 20 mmHg
increase gradually.
 Step 6
 6. The cuff is inflated causing the
pressure to rise and suppress brachial
artery so that blood flow stops flowing.
 Step 7
 7. Go back valve air regulator by
turning left a little bit with feeling so
that air from the cuffs come out little
by little so that the flow of brachial
artery blood flowing again. Listen to
and watch sounds that arise when cuff
valve is opened, it will sound duk-duk-
duk.
 Step 8
 8. Voice lup lup-dup-dup the first time
you heard the voice also called
KOROTKOW.
 Determining systolic pressure and diastole

 1 First Phase:
Notice when you pump up the cuff to a pressure value (eg 140
mmHg) and then when the air is removed little by little, then the cuff
pressure is reduced. Suddenly the sound will be clear, short, are
tapping (tapping) are more and more loudly, the sound is called
Korotkoff sounds. This voice is heard during the cuff pressure 10-14
mmHg lowered.
 2 .Second Phase:
Turned into a noisy sound (murmur) and severity decreased during
the decrease in pressure of 15-20 mmHg.
 3. Phase Three:
Voice becomes clear back and harder during the next drop in 5-7
mmHg.
 4. Fourth phase:
Voice became faint and weak with a decline rapidly over the next 5-6
mmHg
 5. Phase Five:
Voice began to disappear.
