Your blood pressure can be taken with a Mercury blood pressure gauge, an aneroid manometer, or an electronic device for measuring the blood pressure, as long as the device has been recently calibrated and validated. With rare exceptions, blood pressure gauges found in supermarkets or pharmacies aren't properly maintained and shouldn't be used.

What equipment takes a person's blood pressure?
It is called a Sphygmomanometer.
What does increased blood viscosity mean?
Yes. As the blood increases in viscosity, the heart is required to increase the amount of pressure it takes to push the blood through the vasculature; thus the blood pressure increases
What does a cardiac measure?
It measure pressure, oxygen and blood gases. It takes blood samples and measures the output of the heart.
What does a cardiac catheter measure?
It measure pressure, oxygen and blood gases. It takes blood samples and measures the output of the heart.

What isblood pressure?
The systolic blood pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted on the inside of the blood vessels when your heartmuscle is contracting and pumping blood. This is the maximum pressure in the blood vessels. The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure between heart beats when the heart is resting and filling with blood. This is the minimum pressure in the blood vessels.
How do the structures of alveoli and capillaries support the function of gas exchange?
Exchange of gases in alveoli takes place through diffusion. This diffusion takes place to partial pressure differences among the gases O2 and CO2. The partial pressure of O2in alveolar sac = 103 mm Hg The partial pressure of O2 in blood = 50mm Hg The partial pressure of CO2 in alveolar sac = 28 mm Hg The partial pressure of CO2 in blood = 45 mm Hg As a result, the O2 from alveolar sacs diffuses into blood. the CO2 diffuses from blood into lungs.
What is the lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your- blood pressure?
The lowest pressure exerted by blood in your arteries is your diastolic blood pressure.
