Can you check your own blood pressure without a monitor?

If you have a blood pressure cuff and no stethoscope, you can measure the systolic blood pressure only. To do this, apply the blood pressure cuff to the patent's arm and find the patient's radial pulse (palm-side of the wrist on the thumb-side) with your fingers. While monitoring the patient's radial pulse, increase the pressure in the cuff until you can no longer feel a pulse. Add a bit more pressure, then slowly deflate the cuff until you can feel the pulse return. Since you are only doing this by feel, you will note it 'by palpation'. For example, if your patient's pulse is 132 systolic, you will note it as 132/P.
