Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sphygmomanometer is wrapped around the upper arm and inflated to temporarily cut off blood flow to the brachial artery. As the pressure is released, the healthcare provider listens for the sounds of blood flowing through the artery with a stethoscope and notes the pressure at which the sound disappears (systolic pressure) and reappears (diastolic pressure).
