If the pressure is dropped to a level equal to that of the patient's systolic blood pressure, the first Korotkoff sound will be heard. As the pressure in the cuff is the same as the pressure produced by the heart, some blood will be able to pass through the upper arm when the pressure in the artery rises during systole. This blood flows in ...
Auscultatory gap. An auscultatory gap, also known as the silent gap, [ 1] is a period of diminished or absent Korotkoff sounds during the manual measurement of blood pressure. It is associated with peripheral blood flow caused by changes in the pulse wave. [ 2] The improper interpretation of this gap may lead to blood pressure monitoring errors ...
Sphygmomanometer. A sphygmomanometer ( / ˌsfɪɡmoʊməˈnɒmɪtər / SFIG-moh-mə-NO-mi-tər ), also known as a blood pressure monitor, or blood pressure gauge, is a device used to measure blood pressure, composed of an inflatable cuff to collapse and then release the artery under the cuff in a controlled manner, [1] and a mercury or aneroid ...
A minimum systolic value can be roughly estimated by palpation, most often used in emergency situations, but should be used with caution. [10] It has been estimated that, using 50% percentiles, carotid, femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure > 70 mmHg, carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of > 50 mmHg, and only a ...
