Medical workers use a sphygmomanometer to measure?

Answer 1

A digital sphygmomanometer is used to measure blood pressure, just like the manual one. The difference is that the process of making the measurement is done electronically, and the display posts the results.

Answer 2

On a typical, old-fashioned sphygmomanometer, you wrap the cuff around the persons upper arm and place a stethoscope over the brachial artery in the cubital fossa (the inside part of the arm, opposite the elbow).

As you pump the bulb, the cuff will inflate.

Pump it sufficiently beyond the expected systolic pressure, and then turn the valve to slowly release air from the cuff. The point at which you begin hearing a heartbeat in the stethoscope is the systolic pressure.

Continue releasing air from the cuff through the valve.

The point at which you no longer hear a heartbeat is the diastolic pressure.

The unit in which blood pressure is measured is: mm Hg (millimeters of Mercury)

Answer 3

A sphygmomanometer measures blood pressure.
