It depends on the situation. Blood pressure can be measured on legs, not just arms. Often blood pressure is not measured routinely in patients where is it contraindicated (e.g. lymphadenectomy). In a critical care situation where it's important to obtain a blood pressure it is often measured centrally anyway, via insertion of a catheter into the heart.
