Thank you so much for this video I am currently in training to be a medical administration technician and this video has helped me by far💙

[@terrybardy2923]

Thank you for having a nice personality which makes it fun to watch! Thank you Ben, For being such a good sport! May you two have many wonderful years together.

[@rnsteve2265]

These videos are amazing.

[@footmotion]

Hello!!! I watched your video on how to take blood pressure for an interview. Today I had to give a mock teaching on how to take blood pressure. Watching your video, and taking ideas from it helped me get the job!!!!! I just want to give thanks to you for that assist!!!

[@azadharki3228]

😊

[@aidenmerchain2070]

I’m in nursing school and my instructors recommend you all the time. I was struggling with hearing where the diastolic is so I started looking up different videos to understand the systolic sound. I switched my ear tips to a smaller size as well, but no matter what I did I couldn’t get the correct BP. I found this video yesterday before my vital signs assessment and like how you broke down both of the sounds and how to tell them apart. During my assessment I said 140/92 and the correct BP was 140/90! Got it within the 2 point range. Thank you for all that you do!

[@donnaskipper7944]

How adorable are you two!!! You can tell your husband is so proud of you!! Thank you for your videos!!

[@prajolkansakar2937]

Take care u guys :)

[@brittneyriepe7174]

I’m in the polysomnography program at my school and my teacher spent literally less than 5 minutes on how to take blood pressure and told us it isn’t rocket science. We are all first semester students and our check off is soon, so I thank you for actually taking the time to teach this.

[@em20006]

I am currently a Student in Enrolled Nursing and have just been introduced to taking blood pressure. It's been quite complicating using the equipment and measuring BP, but after watching this video it has helped me so much.Thank you from Australia!!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Yay! I'm so glad I could help you understand it. I agree it is quite complicating using the equipment and trying to listen all at the same time.....we need more hands lol. It is very awesome you're from Australia......beautiful country :)

Emily Wills measuring blood pressure can be a nightmare. I've had the cuff inflate off the patient.

[@staceyh8390]

Awesome video! I'm an EMT student and we briefly practiced in class. Most of my classmates already knew how to do manual bp and they explained it but I didn't get it. I feel a lot more confident now and can't wait to practice this skill more!

[@terrao4971]

Was never sure how slowly you need to release the air, so thank you! Also, thank you for reminding people to tell their patients what their blood pressure readings are. I always tell people if it’s high, low, or good and exactly what their number is. It’s important for everyone to know what their “normal” blood pressure is.

[@sadierichards8141]

You have just explained this so much better than my Medical teacher!!!! Thank you so much for taking time and making a video about one step and two step Blood pressure, maybe now I will get this right!

Nurse in training right now having a hard time finding the brachial artery on my friends and family. I'm unsure if I'm palpating incorrectly but I can't practice blood pressure if I can't find the artery! Then, I watched your video and I was able to locate it every time when you gave the note it's always on the inside of the elbow! Thanks so much!

[@whiedaadfortuin4217]

I just subscribed to RegisteredNurseRN, I'm a first year student in SA and tomorrow during our clinical skills, we are going to practice Blood Pressure. I was so nervous, but after watching this video I'm sure tomorrow will be fine Thank you so much Sara ❤❤

[@RasheedKhan-nr9fu]

hi, I am so glad you have this video, I work in a hospital as a patient care tech I do almost the same as what a CNA does but a little more. whenever I do a blood pressure on one of my patients and it's too high or low I told my nurses to do it manually but now I am in a nursing program at college and I know I will have to learn to do it manually. I know it is difficult but I refresh from your teaching I hope I can do it better when needed to. thank a lot.( we used the modern day one).

[@mariaflores-ef1py]

Thankyou, I just started doing blood pressure in my CNA class and am having truble getting BP reading but watching your video really helped me understand a whole lot on how to get manual BP and I hope I can finally get it!! Thanks! Amazing video!!

[@lainamarie8309]

You did an amazing job of clearly explaining the process. If you're not already an instructor, you should be one!

[@arriellesiren6276]

Thank you so much for this video!! Yesterday we started practicing blood pressure in our clinical skills (very first skill we have to learn) and I felt like I was the only person who didn’t get it. I feel a lot better and more prepared about it now!!

You are a LIFESAVER! Now i know how to manually measure blood pressure. I will be studying with you for ALL of my nursing skills for school! Thank you soo much! By the way, you and your husband are soo adorable together and are examples of couple goals the way he is your “pracrice dummy”. You’ve earned a subscriber for life!! God bless you both!!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hello! I just wanted to respond to you and say THANK YOU for the very kind comment. I'm so glad you know how to obtain a manual blood pressure now. I wish you the best in your nursing journey, and thanks for bringing me a long for the journey :)

[@Diceanne]

Awesome video. I get tested tomorrow for Vital Sign competencies for becoming a Medical Assistant. I knew your visual teaching was just what I would need- I was struggling trying to locate the brachial artery! Liked how you gave an anatomy pointer too on how this artery becomes the radial and ulnar artery later. My Mother was a Virginian. I am from Wisconsin. I love a Southern accent. Reminds me of my Mom and my Southern kin. Hush puppies!!! You are doing good, important work. Peace

[@Knichelle92]

I’m currently in nursing school, i had problems hearing the sounds! Watching your videos makes it easier to understand ! Thank you.

[@aaroncampbell2180]

Thanks Sarah. I always like watching medical videos as an EMT so I can learn something new. Like regarding blood clots, i'll be sure to ask my patients that.

[@weronika3287]

I am ready to jump back in but need some brushing up on a few things. I know you have an updated video on how to take bp, but this one was a little more "dumbed down" and helped more. Thank you

Before seening this video I thought that I knew how to take BP. But your video guided me well enough that now I can get accurate results of my readings. Indeed a great skill for early diagnosis that can save precious lives of the patients. Thanks for such an informative video.

[@markbeer7422]

I'm a nursing student & ive been having a hard time "listening" to the first & last thump, do you think it's my stethoscope? I love your videos btw!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hello Mark! It is hard at first to tell which sound is the first (S1) and the second (S2). If you can't hear it at all...then it may be your stethoscope. However, make sure you are placing the diaphragm directly on the artery and avoid placing it over clothes (because this muffles the sound). Also, if you check the carotid pulse in the neck and listen with your stethoscope over the heart at the same time...the "thump" that coincides with the carotid pulse is S1 (the first thump). I have a video that goes in depth with heart sounds if you are interested here: kzbin.infosearch?query=heart+sounds I hope that helps!
