Measurement of Blood PressureBlood PressureTypes of Blood PressureMethods To Measure Blood

Blood Pressure

Blood Pressure is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels

Types of Blood Pressure Systolic Blood Pressure:It is specifically the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of Heart

Diastolic Blood Pressure :Diastolic pressure, refers to the lowest pressure within the arterial blood stream due to expansion of heart

Measurement of Blood PressureThere are 3 basic ways to measure the blood

Auscultatory.Oscillometric.Direct Method.

Auscultatory MethodThe auscultatory method (from the Latin word for "listening") uses a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer.

Types of SphygmomanometerMercury column sphygmomanometer.

Aneroid sphygmomanometer.

Oscillometric MethodThe oscillometric method involves the observation of oscillations in the sphygmomanometer cuff pressure

Direct MethodA thin tube is directly inserted in the body to assess pressure of the blood

Two types of direct method

H2O manometersElectronic manometers

H2O Manometers

Thin manometer tube is directly inserted in the body having water in it .

Electronic manometersAn electronic pressure transducer can be connected to the patient to find pressure by thin tubing called catheter
