We use it mainly because of the history of the instrument. Hg includes the value of millimeters of Mercury (mmHg) in a mercury column as the universal units for recording blood pressure, whatever the device. We don't use mercury any more because it is so toxic but the units still remain even when using another type.

What is the measurement used to measure blood pressure called?
mm Hg (milimeters of mercury) usually measured with a Stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer .
Medical workers use a sphygmomanometer to measure?
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.
What does hg unit of measure stand for?
hg is a measurement of Vacuum measured in Inches of Murcury.
What was the substance used in the first thermometer?
The first devices to measure temperatures did not use liquid mercury (Hg) as commonly thought. Hg thermometers came centuries later in fact. Among the first thermometers were bulbs in water used to measure temperature.
What is the use of the sphygmomanometer?
It is a device for measuring blood pressure.A sphygmomanometer (often condensed to sphygmometer) or blood pressure meter is a device used to measure blood pressure, comprising an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, and a mercury or electronic manometer to measure the pressure. The pressure is stated as two numbers, the highest pressure that blood reaches (pushes past the cuff) and the lowest (the flow is unimpeded and flows without being pushed by the heart contraction). Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope to determine the two pressures.The higher pressure is the systolic (heart pushing), the lower the diastolic. Blood pressure is stated as both of these numbers, e.g. 115/75 spoken "115 over 75" is a systolic pressure of 115 (mm Hg), a diastolic of 75 (mm Hg).
Can you use a pokewalker if you play HG SS on your Kindle Fire?
I've never heard of playing HG/SS on a kindle fire (Maybe using some kind of emulator?), but most likely not.
What did people use the barometer for?
To measure pressure in the air. Meteorologists use them (weather people) a barometer is used for measuring pressure,the units for measuring pressure include atm,pascal,torr,mm of hg,bars.
What oil filter can you use by side a hg-50037 oil filter?
The replacement filter for a HG-50037 is a HG-51563
What is the symbol and the number of mercury?
We use Hg as the symbol. Atomic number of Hg is 80.
The chemical symbol for element Mercury is?
Hg is the chemical symbol for mercury
How would you classify a soft drink when the sealed bottle is on the store shelf using the particle theory of matter?

Does Hg stand for millibars?
No, Hg stands for mercury. It is a unit of pressure commonly used in meteorology to measure barometric pressure, where 1 inch of mercury (inHg) is approximately equal to 33.86 millibars.
