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 ...
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, [ 1][ 2] such as ...
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 ...
Manual sphygmomanometer and stethoscope used to take blood pressure in clinic. Blood pressure is recorded as two readings: a higher systolic pressure, which occurs during the maximal contraction of the heart, and the lower diastolic or resting pressure. [11] In adults, a normal blood pressure is 120/80, with 120 being the systolic and 80 being ...
35094-2. Blood pressure ( BP) is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Most of this pressure results from the heart pumping blood through the circulatory system. When used without qualification, the term "blood pressure" refers to the pressure in a brachial artery, where it is most commonly measured.

t. e. An audio frequency or audible frequency ( AF) is a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human. The SI unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). It is the property of sound that most determines pitch. [ 1] The generally accepted standard hearing range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz. [ 2][ 3][ 4] In air at atmospheric ...
