Résumé
This case describes a young, healthy woman who developed a grade 1 biceps muscle strain after the use of automatic non-invasive blood pressure monitoring during an elective surgical procedure. She was treated conservatively with simple analgesia, physiotherapy and a sling for comfort. Follow-up conducted 1 week later revealed occasional soreness, but she had almost returned to her baseline activity. The patient made a full recovery without any residual symptoms by the end of 6 weeks. This case highlights the importance of careful monitoring to ensure that routine use of blood pressure cuffs does not cause any pressure injuries.
