What type of blood vessel do you take blood pressure in?
Blood pressure is taken through an artery. Normal BP is highest in the artery side of the circulatory system and lower in the venous side.
What is blood pressure taking with?
Blood pressure is taken with a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope.
What does the korotkoff sound mean to us?
CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Korotkoff sounds are certain specific sounds heard when the arteries decompress and move the blood along them. They were invented by a Russian professor - Nikolai Korotkoff in the early 20th century during the 1st world war and remain the best ausculatory way to measure arterial blood pressure. When an artery is totally compressed, no sounds can be heard at all as no blood is moving. As the artery is slowly decompressed, certain sounds are heard which indicate a way of judging the level of pressure in the artery. In order to slowly decompress the artery we need to use an inflatable sphygmomanometer cuff and a stethoscope. The cuff is pumped up until no sound can be heard. Then the cuff is slowly deflated and the sounds occur: They occur in four stages : silence-tapping-thumping-muffled-silence again when the cuff is fully deflated and the artery is completely unobstructed. When the first sound is heard - the tapping, the reading on the sphygmomanometer is taken to be systolic pressure. The moment all the sounds disappear and you are left with silence again, the reading on the sphygmomanometer is taken as diastolic pressure. This is the way by which your blood pressure will always be taken at your local GP or health clinic. The standard BP is 120/80 which is systolic/diastolic. However it is likely that people will have blood pressure values of near that value and still be perfectly healthy.
What are dipyridamle tablets used for?
Dibyridamle tablets are used to prevent blood clots. Dipyridamle tablets should not be taken if you have low blood pressure, suffer migraines or severe coronary artery disease, have problems with blood clotting, or have recently suffered a heart attack.
What does the pulmonary artery contain?
deoxygenated blood / impure blood taken from d right ventricle of d heart.... it takes the impure blood 2 d lungs for purification/oxygenation... its the only artery tat carries deoxygenated blood.....
Why can a person die when an artery being cleanly severed?
An artery delivers oxygenated blood to other parts of the body including organs. Because of this, they have high pressure and are larger because of the demand for blood. If an artery is severed; the heart is continually pumping more blood through that artery and without being clamped a person can easily bleed out. This is different from veins since veins are returning the blood to the lungs to get oxygenated, so they have a lower pressure and lower demand. That's why when you give or have blood taken it's done in a vein since it has a lower volume and is able to clot more quickly then an artery could.
What is taken from blood when it is pumped to the lung?
When blood is pumped to the lung, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveolus. The pumonary artery carries the blood from the heart to the lungs.
What is a normal blood pressure for goats?

What part of the body is used for phlebotomy?
Blood is usually taken from a vein on the back of the hand or inside of the elbow. Some blood tests, however, may require blood from an artery.
Can blood pressure medications be taken as a PRN?
Most blood pressure medications are taken as a preventive method or for controlling the rise of blood pressure. In light of this, a pro re nata (PRN) order from your doctor or cardiologist is unlikely. However, if the medication is for controlling acute systems of blood pressure, it is usually used pro re nata.
What measurements are taken when determining a person's blood pressure?
Systolic and Diastolic pressure measurements are taken. Systolic is the higher pressure measurement, when the heart ventricles are contracted, and Diastolic is the lower pressure when the ventricles are filling. So if somebody's blood pressure is 120/80, then 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure
