I'm trying to figure out how to perform an ABI manually. I've heard of ABI but I'm not sure of the exact steps involved in carrying out the process manually. Can someone guide me through the steps?
Following the inflation of the cuff, the pressure is then slowly released. This process allows for the careful monitoring of blood Flow and the reappearance of arterial beats.

After identifying the waveforms, the next step is to pump up the cuff. It is crucial to inflate the cuff to a pressure that is 20 mmHg above the point where the last arterial beat is heard.
