I need a little help with finding out the correct
answer to the question, "In order to minimize cuff
artifact, the cuff width should be at least ______
greater than the diameter of the limb in which
pressure is being measured?"

Is the answer 50% greater or 20% greater?

There is conflicting information in 2 of the texts I
am referencing to find the answer to this question.

I appreciate everyone's help with this.

Thanks,

Lea Ann Farmer
