Course programme
A generic course with a focus on Non-invasive Blood Pressure machines: patient preparation, operation and troublehsooting. The main source of errors result from lack of basic foundations. To avoid these common errors this course identifies only what you need to know in 5 minutes and can be applied to any BP machine irrespective of the model.
Foundations are generic and once understood, will remain with you forever. So what you need to know are the factors that affect your BP reading:
1. cuff fundamentals: size and placement
2. inaccurate BP measurements
3. interference and troubleshooting
4. self-test
