Actually, it's not the "finger," but the "toe," so it seems, based on what I found on google.

In my experience, working as a medical interpreter, providers always refer to blood pressure (arm, toe, finger). I have never really heard them say "arterial pressure", which is perfectly OK, just not the most used. AND Finger blood pressure is correct, because the devices can be placed either in the finger, toe, arm... Def: 1. the pressure of blood against the walls of any blood vessel. 2. the pressure of blood on the walls of the arteries, dependent on the energy of the heart action, elasticity of the arterial walls, and volume and viscosity of the blood; the maximum or systolic pressure occurs near the end of the stroke output of the left ventricle, and the minimum or diastolic late in ventricular diastole.

Sorry, Peonia, but I believe that "toe" is correct because of a family member's personal experience with diabetes. She has to wear sleeves on her feet so that she will not loose her toes.

Not to mention "indice dedo-brazo" is translated "toe-brachial indiex" as the asker will be able to see when she googles the Spanish phrase.

Hi Barbara, I don't believe I said that your answers were incorrect, but rather that "finger pressure" is also correct. What I meant to clarify is that in Spanish there's only one word for fingers and toes, therefore Jennifer would need to specify where the blood pressure is being taken: "Presin arterial del dedo [de la mano/del pie] en el paciente con diabetes"... Cheers!!!
