emotions, activity, and themedicationsyou take. One high reading does not mean you have high blood pressure. It is necessary to measure your blood pressure at different times, while you are resting comfortably for at least five minutes. To make the diagnosis of hypertension, at least three rea...
Method for measuring the blood pressure of a patient A blood pressure measuring procedure which can be performed by the subject employing a manually inflatable cuff and associated microphone, a measuring circuit responsive to signals having the form of Korotkoff sounds, a dual-indicator ma...

Engage the pump included with the thigh blood pressure cuff. Inflate the cuff rapidly and then loosen the valve inflating the cuff as you listen for a heartbeat. When you hear a sound, the dial gauge will indicate the systolic pressure. Continue to deflate the cuff until the heartbeat stops...
pressure gauge is closed and begin pumping the bulb to inflate the cuff. Continue pumping until you can no longer feel a pulse, note where the needle on the gauge is located and inflate the cuff an additional 20 mmHg (millimeter of mercury is the unit of measure on the blood pressure ...
Also referred to as a blood pressure monitor or blood pressure meter, a sphygmomanometer is a device that is widely used to measure blood pressure. It consists of a number of components, including an inflatable cuff, a pump with a valve and a mercury-filled o...
1. Describe how to measure blood pressure. 2. What instruments are used (use the appropriate terms )? 3. What artery is measured? 4. What do the sounds heard relate to? Describe how the pressure gradient might be altered in the blood movement...
Explain how a sphygmomanometer is used to measure blood pressure; focus on the action of the cuff on the vasculature of the arm to explain your point. How would end systolic volume (ESV) be affected if arterial blood pressure increased? Why?
A digital blood pressure monitor is a device that uses an electronic sensor to measure blood pressure. It usually consists of a cuff, an air pump, and a digital display. When the cuff is tied to the arm or the wrist and inflated, the electronic sensor detects changes in blood flow to ...
It is best to measure blood pressure after using the restroom and at least 30 minutes after exercising, eating, taking caffeine, drinking alcohol, or using tobacco. What Your Value Means The SBP and DBP you see in your reading can give you an idea of where your blood pressure falls. Thes...
