The most accurate way to measure blood pressure is to use an artery closest to the heart. The radial artery is far weaker, and less audible making it a less popular area of the body to assess blood pressure. For medical purposes, the brachial artery is considered the most noninvasive artery to access when measuring blood pressure. Its no wonder that medical professionals dont constrict the carotid arteries to measure blood pressure.

∙ 13y agoThere is no set blood pressure anywhere in the body, it all fluctuates based on a varying array of contributing factors.
Normal Values are as follows: 1 year6 - 9 yearsadults95/65100/65110/65 - 140/90
Technically. if you have a critical patient and you can feel a pulse in the radial, you know that they have a diastolic blood pressure of at least 80.
