[2025-09-29T22:02:18.033761] [PI reasoning] **Considerations for blood pressure measurement**

I'm thinking about the best advice for a cardiac tamponade patient during blood pressure measurement. The significant sign here is pulsus paradoxus, an exaggerated drop in systolic BP during inspiration. To observe this, advising the patient to breathe normally is best. Telling them to hold their breath would skip respiratory variation, while deep breathing might exaggerate it. So, I’d go with option B: breathe normally. I might confirm this knowledge with a quick search for citations.
