Skin avulsion during oscillometry.

We observed a case of skin avulsion associated with measurement of blood pressure by oscillometry on an anesthetized patient in the prone position. Epidermal shearing may be avoided in the prone patient by either wrapping the antecubital skin underlying the blood pressure cuff with gauze or preventing weight-bearing by the cuffed portion of the arm.
