The steps are listed in the correct order for each of the following techniques. These are printable flashcards to help you memorize and practice the techniques.
Two-step blood pressure technique
- Palpate the radial or brachial artery, inflate the blood pressure cuff until the pulse is no longer felt, and then continue to inflate 20–30 mm Hg more: this is the maximum pressure inflation.
- Deflate the cuff quickly.
- Now, you can start blood pressure so place the bell of the cleansed stethoscope over the brachial artery using a light touch and complete seal.
- Inflate the cuff to the maximum pressure inflation number.
- Open the valve slightly.
- Deflate the cuff slowly and evenly at about 2 mm Hg per second.
- Note the points at which you hear the first appearance of Korotkoff sound (systolic blood pressure), and the last Korotkoff sound before it goes silent (diastolic blood pressure).

- Palpate the radial or brachial artery, inflate the blood pressure cuff until the pulse is no longer felt, and then continue to inflate 20–30 mmHg more.
- Place the bell of the cleansed stethoscope over the brachial artery using a light touch, but with an airtight seal.
- Open the valve slightly.
- Deflate the cuff slowly and evenly at about 2 mm Hg per second.
