What else can I help you with?
Starting with t what is the medical term for a blood pressure cuff?
A blood pressure cuff is a sphygmomanometer. Better check the crossing word in the puzzle :)
What happens if a medical assistant uses an improper cuff size?
error in blood pressure measurement
What is a sphygmonanometer?
That is a medical device which determines a person's blood pressure by using an inflatable cuff around the arm, coupled with a pressure measuring meter.
What does sphygmomanometer measure?
I believe that is the thing medical professionals use to get your blood pressure. It is the cuff, the rubber pump and the vertical scare that looks like a very big glass thermometer.
What is the medical term meaning measuring blood pressure?
Pulse is measured as the number of times a heart beats per minute.
What is a sphygmonometer?
Sphygmomanometer (the correct spelling).A Sphygmomanometer is an instrument used to measure an individuals indirect blood pressure. They generally consist of an inflatable cuff that fits around a limb (normally the arm, just above the elbow), a bulb for controlling air pressure within the cuff, and a mercury or aneroid manometer (a dial stating the pressure in millimeters of mercury, mmHg).
What is a sphygmomanometer used for?
A sphygmomanometer is used to measure blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, a pressure gauge to measure the pressure in the cuff, and a stethoscope to detect the sounds of blood flowing through an artery.
How does the spygnomanometer work?
A sphymomanometer is used to measure blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, a pressure gauge to measure cuff pressure, and a stethoscope to listen to the blood flow sounds. By inflating the cuff and gradually releasing the pressure, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings can be obtained.
What is a sphygmomsnometer?
A device to check your blood pressure manually. (Blood pressure cuff)
How do you Explain the underlying cause of the Korotkoff Sounds that you detected with the Cardio Microphone as the cuff pressure was decreased?
When the blood pressure cuff is inflated, the blood flow is stopped. Slowly the cuff is decreased. When the technician starts to hear the blood flow, these are called Korotkoff Sounds. This pressure point defines the systolic pressure.
Why can you not hear a sound when the pressure of the cuff is below the diastolic blood pressure?
The pressure in the cuff drops further, the sounds change in quality, then become muted, then disappear altogether. As the pressure in the cuff drops below the diastolic blood pressure, the cuff no longer provides any restriction to blood flow allowing the blood flow to become smooth again with no turbulence and thus produce no further audible sound.
What is the name of the device to monitor your blood pressure?
The real name for a blood pressure cuff is sphygmomanometer.
