Blood pressure can be measured using the palpatory method and auscultatory method. The palpatory method is used to measure only the systolic pressure. The auscultatory method is done by using the inflated cuff and stethoscope placed on the brachial artery, and it gives both systolic and diastolic pressure. The measurement is based on the Korotkoff sounds.
