Re: Taking Blood p Thru Shirt Question ?

It seems to me I heard somewhere that Robert11 wrote in article
<wpqdndlXO_IptOHZnZ2dnUVZ_t6dnZ2d@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

When taking blood p with one of those automatic arm cuff pump inflators
monitor,
would one expect any meaningful differences between placing the cuff on the
bare arm
vs thru a long sleeve (usually an oxford) shirt ?

I realize the bare arm is undoubtedlky best, but any "real" difference ?

In the past couple of years I've noticed all my doctors and nurses,
including the cardiology group, don't bother to ask me to roll up my
sleeves. If it's good enough for them I assume it's good enough for me.
Of course it's been two weeks since the last visit, so maybe they've
changed. :-)

FWIW, the same goes for using the stethoscope on bare skin.
