I always thought, being a railroad buff and familiar with PSI, that it was in Pounds per square inch. Some Path cars ran a standing pressure in the brake system- Main over equalizing, of ll0/70, exactly l0 pounds below the Human norms, the joke was the M-58 cars are a little anemic ( this was compressed air, to operate the brakes) Alas it is ( Blood pressure) actually in MM/Mercury ( Mercury column gauges are still in use, in some quarters) and NOT PSI. People still say (pounds) as it is a sort of flag of convenience, like the confusion of (Two Blocked) with Half Mast in reference to flag usage. Two Blocked originally meant the Flag was ALL the way up- touching the blocks of the pulleys. By some popular misunderstanding- as with the Blood Pressure, as Half is l/2 l over Two- somehow people will say ( the Flag was Two-Blocked for President Kennedy) for example, when they mean Half-Mast. so it goes.
mmHg ( millimetres of mercury)
Those are (somewhat outdated) pressure units.
systolic/diastolic measured by blood pressure cuff
barometer
Pressure is the force measured over an area
Kilopascals :d :d :d :d
Those are (somewhat outdated) pressure units.
systolic/diastolic measured by blood pressure cuff
sphymomanometer is an instrument used for measuring thew bloodpressure. It is based on the the principle of pressure exerted by the column of blood on the unit area of the blood vessel . Both the systolic and diastolic pressure can be measured by this instrument.
How do you measure blood presure?
barometer
with a pressure gauge
Blood Pressure is measured and reported as a pressure in mm of mercury
The pressure in the Atrias and then in the ventricles
No,Blood pressure is a quantitative variable because it is measured in numbers
Blood pressure is also measured: sometimes episodes of sleep apnea can dangerously elevate blood pressure.
Pressure is the force measured over an area
(any unit of force) divided by (any unit of area)
