+ Blood Pressure
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure or tension exerted on the arterial walls as blood pulsates through them (principal vital sign)
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) – pressure exerted on the arteries during the contraction phase of the heartbeat.
Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) – the resting pressure on the arteries as the heart relaxes between contractions.

Diastolic phase: heart relaxes, BP falls, heart fills with blood
Systolic phase : heart contracts, BP rises, heart pumps blood out to the body

Sites for Blood Pressure Assessment Brachial artery – taken on the upper arm;
most common site. Radial artery – taken on the lower arm;
possible site for infants or clients who have very large upper arms.
Popliteal artery– taken on the thigh. Dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial – taken on
the lower leg.

Equipment for Measuring Blood Pressure
Types of Sphygmomanometers Mercury – has a calibrated glass tube
containing mercury. Aneroid – has a calibrated dial with a
needle that points to numbers on the
face of the dial. Electronic – uses a digital display and
usually includes the pulse rate.
