I bring this up because the report into UK paramedic trauma outcomes was
critical of insufficient prehospital observstions especially of BP.
I have to admit that using a standard sphyg prehospital is usually a time
delay and often technically difficult (esp in aerommedical or entrapment
situations) and I offten make do with clinical observations of perfussion
(colour, skin temp, pulse, resp rate, capillary refil and peripheral sao2).
