automated sphygmomanometer

[jmh]

I just started at an ambulance transport service. I know im not the only one who finds it difficult to hear or feel a pulse on geriatric Pt.s so i was wondering if anyone uses automated bp wrist or arm units. My company wont supply it but i figure if i can find a decent one that isn't too expensive id go out and get one to help with my Ax during transport. Anyone?

i used wrist ones and they seemed to be way off when i took mine in an anatomy an physiology class is high school. then it could have been that they were extremely cheap ones
