divided into 23 as experimental group and 23 as control group and chosen by
cluster sampling technique. Experimental group was given combination slow

with digital sphygmomanometer and observation sheet. The analysis used
univariate by using frequencies and bivariate by using dependent t test and
independent t test. The result of this research showed that reducing mean of
mean artery pressure (MAP) in experiment group with 6,48 mmHg and reducing MAP
in control group with 0,95 mmHg. Statistic analyze showed that was significant
