The cuff deflation rate should be 2 - 3 mmHg per second. The rate in this video is significantly faster and not optimal for accurate blood pressure measurement.
It's 154/86. Watch the needle begin to bounce at 145. That's the sphygmomanometer needle detecting the Systolic pressure of blood flow. Then watch again as the needle stops bouncing at 86. That's the sphygmomanometer needle detecting the Diastolic pressure of relaxed blood flow. The microphone is just having difficulty picking up the faint sound at the beginning and end.

Question: I often will hear the first beats at a higher number, such as 138, then they disappear for several seconds, then reappear down at 124 or so. Should I record the first beats that disappeared, or regard 124 (continuous) as first (systolic)? For distolic, I hear clear beats down to a certain number, say 86, but sometimes continue to get VERY faint beats for some seconds, down to say 82 or 80. Record 86, or very faint beat for diastolic?
In my headphones I hear 155/85. I think some people hear 155/100 because the sounds under 100 have lower frequency and their speakers/headphones do not pick them up
that's what I heard as well but my question is: Do we wait to hear the last thump period or the last thumb that is loud and consistent at sound as the previous ones? If its the last thump period, then the diastolic is definitely 100.
I haven't heard that exact term before and that is not what we teach our students. It may be a difference in semantics. I've never heard it described that way before. Do you have a reference or a web site that talks about that? It would be interesting to read more about it.

It's 154/86.

Finally a video on the sounds your suppose to hear
I heard 154/96. What did you hear? I am practicing blood pressure this week and want to make sure I am counting the correct sounds.
I got 154/86... just listen closely..

On this video that's what I got too but in my practicals I can't hear anything clearly enough to say for sure.
The deflation rate was WAY too fast to get an accurate reading, especially for someone practicing
Feel like it was sped up once the diastolic was found ! Yes I’m currently practicing btw
154/86

142/86 mmHg
I got 154/92 .
150/90
Funny, because you NEVER use an odd number for BP
152/90 ?
150/95 give this guy some telmisartan and lay off the table salt!!!!!!!!!!!
154/96
140/90
Sounds like 154/94
i also got 154/86
145/90
154/96?
In my headphones I hear 155/85. I think some people hear 155/100 because the sounds under 100 have lower frequency and their speakers/headphones do not pick them up
Good Observation, Thank you for the feedback!
how did you get 155? there are no odd numbers in any BP apparatus.
that's what I heard as well but my question is: Do we wait to hear the last thump period or the last thumb that is loud and consistent at sound as the previous ones? If its the last thump period, then the diastolic is definitely 100.
So what’s the answer? What is the correct reading?
Oh I got 150/86 idk I'm still learning
I go to this channel to train to be a doctor😁
150/100 high bp
around 152/86 maybe. but that's still high. please go see a doctor, if you can. submitted in love :-)
This is the best & useful video
lovely! Thanks :)
154/98
That's a high blood pressure.
I got 154/86 also
154/108?
Thanks for the vid
Charles I need you to help me with blood pressures.
Dang, go see your Dr. HTN big time.
154/100
its the first heartbeat that is the systolic and last heartbeat which is the diastolic if I'm not mistaken.
ecidnac i got the same answer
138 - 90
145/90
150/98
140 bye 100
154/102
158/100
152/98 i heard
144/102 i had a nurse tell me you are listening for more of the woosh sound not so much the bump sound.

That's high! Go to a doctor!
I know really! I am doing much better now:) Thanks for your concern.
Take the extra few seconds to release slowly to get accurate #'s.

It's slow enough. Or at least a lot slower then the nurse's and my blood pressure gauge is pretty close to the nurses.
