What is the Medical term meaning blood pressure cuff?
The medical term for a blood pressure cuff is a sphygmomanometer.
How do you say cuffs in plural noun?
The plural noun is cuffs; the singular noun is cuff.
Do you think that pulse measurement can replace stethoscope in determining diastolic pressure?
No. The sound that is heard is generated by turbulent flow when blood overcomes the pressure of the cuff (at the systolic point), but collapses because the cuff pressure exceeds the diastolic pressure. One the cuff is below the systolic pressure, there will be a pulse.
Starting with t what is the medical term for a blood pressure cuff?
A blood pressure cuff is a sphygmomanometer. Better check the crossing word in the puzzle :)
How does the spygnomanometer work?
A sphymomanometer is used to measure blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, a pressure gauge to measure cuff pressure, and a stethoscope to listen to the blood flow sounds. By inflating the cuff and gradually releasing the pressure, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings can be obtained.
What is a sphygmomanometer used for?
A sphygmomanometer is used to measure blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, a pressure gauge to measure the pressure in the cuff, and a stethoscope to detect the sounds of blood flowing through an artery.
What exactly is a blood pressure and how does it work?
At an exam with your doctor, they will put a cuff on your arm and inflate it just enough to feel the pressure, then the cuff is let go to deflate. The time it takes for your body to deflate that cuff counts as your blood pressure, counted by the doctor or nurse you will see.
How do you Explain the underlying cause of the Korotkoff Sounds that you detected with the Cardio Microphone as the cuff pressure was decreased?
When the blood pressure cuff is inflated, the blood flow is stopped. Slowly the cuff is decreased. When the technician starts to hear the blood flow, these are called Korotkoff Sounds. This pressure point defines the systolic pressure.
Why can you not hear a sound when the pressure of the cuff is below the diastolic blood pressure?
The pressure in the cuff drops further, the sounds change in quality, then become muted, then disappear altogether. As the pressure in the cuff drops below the diastolic blood pressure, the cuff no longer provides any restriction to blood flow allowing the blood flow to become smooth again with no turbulence and thus produce no further audible sound.
How does a bp tester works?
Assuming by 'bp' you mean blood pressure... The 'standard' tester works like this - An inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. The medic listens to the pulse in your arm as they slowly inflate the cuff with air. The amount of pressure in the cuff is displayed on a dial - and the medic notes this pressure when the pulse stops. A release valve on the cuff is slowly opened and the cuff deflates. Again - the medic listens for the pulse returning to your arm - and notes the pressure. This gives the pressure readings (for example 90/40)
What is a sphygmomsnometer?
A device to check your blood pressure manually. (Blood pressure cuff)
