Wrap the blood pressure cuff snugly around your upper arm, positioning it so that the lower edge of the cuff is 1 inch above the antecubital space
Locate the brachial artery and place the head of the stethoscope over it, below the cuff
It should not rub the cuff or any clothing
Correct positioning of the stethoscope is important
to get an accurate recording
Patient should be sitting for at least 5 minutes
in a quiet place before BP is taken
Close the valve on the rubber inflating bulb and then inflate the cuff until the dial or column of mercury reads 200mmHg
Next, the valve is opened slightly, allowing the pressure to fall at 2 to 3 mmHg per second
The level on the dial or mercury tube at which the sound of blood pulsing is first heard is recorded
This is the systolic pressure
As the air continues to be let out, the sounds will disappear
This is the diastolic pressure |

Term
| Why would we measure RMR? |
|
Definition
To find quantitatively the minimal kcals
required each day |
|
|
Term
| For accurate RMR results, subjects should follow: |
|
Definition
No eating /drinking within 6 hours of test (h₂o = exception)
No exercise 12 hours prior to test
No use of tobacco within 6 hours
No caffeine within 6 hours
Avoid OTC medications |

Definition
Body Composition
For every 1% increase in body fat, RMR decreases 0.01 kcal/min
Genetics (Fast vs. Slow metabolism)
Men vs. women
Women 5-10% lower RMR
Getting older
RMR decreases 2-3% per decade |
