MUAC TAPE
How do you use MUAC
Place the tape measure around the LEFT arm (the arm should be relaxed and hang down the side of the body).
Measure the MUAC while ensuring that the tape neither pinches the arm nor is left loose.
Read the measurement from the window of the tape or from the tape. Record the MUAC to the nearest 0.1 cm or 1mm.
MUAC is measured in adults and children, to the nearest 0.1 cm, using a flexible non stretch tape laid at the midpoint between the acromion and olecranon processes on the shoulder blade and the ulna, respectively, of the arm.
MUAC is a measure of the sum of the muscle and subcutaneous fat in the upper arm.
Why do we measure MUAC
MUAC, is a measurement that allows health workers to quickly determine if a patient is acutely malnourished. PIH, as well as many other organizations, measures the circumference of a patient’s arm at the midpoint between his or her shoulder and elbow

Fetal Doppler-Kenya
How to Use a Fetal Doppler: Steps
- Before you use your doppler, consider that some women report hearing the heartbeat easier in the morning since that’s when the belly is typically the least bloated. Using the doppler while you have a full bladder can also make the heartbeat easier to hear.
- To start, lie with your back down on a flat surface. Expose your abdomen like you would during a regular ultrasound.
- Apply a blob of ultrasound gel or other lubricant to your lower belly. Since the gel will reduce static, use a generous amount.
- Place the doppler probe in the gel and turn the device on.
- Starting from your pubic bone, gently glide the probe upwards towards your belly button. Slowly rock the probe, covering every part of your stomach so that you find the fetus.
- If you hear a heart beat in your earphones and the display shows a heart beat per minute (BPM) of about 120 or higher, you’ve likely found your fetus. Some women say the sound is similar to galloping horses.
- If after a few minutes you cannot find your baby, shut the device off and try another time. You may need to wait for the baby to grow bigger or switch positions.
- After you’re finished, clean off the probe to avoid build up. You may choose to wipe it with 70% ethanol and let air dry or simply wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. Do not submerge the device in water (except waterproof models) or apply cleaning chemicals.
