Measuring Brachial Pressure. 1  1. Ask the patient to lie down in a face-up position. 2  2. Locate the brachial artery. 3  3. Wrap the blood pressure cuff around the patientâs left arm.  4. Inflate the cuff to find the systolic blood pressure of the 1  arm. 5. Deflate the cuff.
The ankle-brachial pressure index or ankle-brachial index is the ratio of the blood pressure at the ankle to the blood pressure in the upper arm. Compared to the arm, lower blood pressure in the leg suggests blocked arteries due to peripheral artery disease. The ABPI is calculated by dividing the systolic blood pressure at the ankle by the systolic blood pressure in the arm.
