During anaesthesia, indirect blood pressure measurement may be performed by the anaesthetist using a brachial stethoscope. This is simply a strap-on stethoscope head with a long tube attaching it to the ear-pieces. It fits under a cuff encircling the patient's arm which can be inflated and deflated remotely so that the drapes do not have to be disturbed.
