I am a student in the early part of my paramedic program, currently taking my emt-b course. I've learned to take BP and all the vital sign stuff and my question relates to Bp in particular. Before listening for the blood pressure, how important is it that I palpate the brachial artery? Does doing so help provide a more accurate reading? And, what if I can't feel the brachial artery? Thank you for any feedback.
