What is the antonym for muffling?
The opposite of muffling a sound would be amplifying.
When the blood pressure cuff is deflated the last tapping sound is the?
diastolic pressure
What is muffling sound?
it is when you can not hear anything
When taking blood pressure the first tapping sound heard is recorded is the first sound systolic or diastolic?
systolic
Is water good at muffling sound?
yes
Do you think that pulse measurement can replace stethoscope in determining diastolic pressure?
No. The sound that is heard is generated by turbulent flow when blood overcomes the pressure of the cuff (at the systolic point), but collapses because the cuff pressure exceeds the diastolic pressure. One the cuff is below the systolic pressure, there will be a pulse.
Can a diastolic blood preasure reading be zero with a systolic of 110?
In many pregnant women, the 4th phase karatkoff sound is audible even though there is no pressure in the cuff. Hence, this leads to a 5th phase karatkoff sound (diastolic pressure reading) of 0. So yes, a systolic reading of 110 and a diastolic of 0 is possible - an example would be in pregnancy.
What means muffling sound?
A muffled sound. To muffle means to wrap with something to deaden sound (you know, for example, a girl is kidnapped by a gang and they put a handkerchief on her mouth. When she goes "Mmmph!", that's what muffling sounds like).
What materials are good at muffling sound?
carpets, curtains and wood are best at muffling sound carpets, curtains and wood are best at muffling sound
How do you read the sphygmomanometer?
Ideally ... the first sound is the systolic pressure, and the loudest sound is the diastolic. Note that both are artifacts of turbulence, since smooth flow is soundless.
What is called when sound gets reduced by a solid obstruction?
"Muffling" or "Baffling". To be academic: "Attenuation".
Indicate the frequency level of a sound?
Frequency is usually not measured in "levels" (though the sound pressure or volume is) Frequency is measured in Hz (Hertz) or vibrations per second. Sound pressure is measured in Decibels
