Despite the existence of a potential auscultatory gap, where an underestimation of SBP can occur, crosschecking with the palpation method can eliminate this potential error. The palpation method as well is also subjected to many sources of error, such as strength of the pulse, location etc., and it requires the cuff to be more deflated, giving a lower systolic pressure reading, making it only a good estimate.…
