[1] [2] [3] Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope. Convention The method has been modified In humans, the bracelet is placed smoothly and comfortably around the arm, approximately the same vertical height of the heart, while the person sits with his arm relaxed and supported. Other sites for placing the bracelet on depend on the species, and may include the tongue, the fin, the tail or the nipple. It is necessary to choose the correct size of the bracelet for the patient. The very small volume gives very high results in pressure, while the very small size gives very low results. The bracelet is inflated until the artery is completely closed, the cubit artery is heard at the elbow joint with the stethoscope, and then the pressure is slowly reduced. As soon as the pressure drops in the bracelet, intermittent sounds are heard == (Kreutkov voices) == when the blood flow begins again in the artery. The recorded pressure when this sound begins is systolic pressure. The pressure is further reduced until sounds disappear. The recorded pressure when the sounds disappear is diastolic pressure. In noisy environments when hearing is not possible (such as scenes often encountered in emergency medicine), only systolic blood pressure can be known by relieving pressure to the sensation == the radial pulse ==. In veterinary medicine, hearing is rarely used and pulse sensation and vision are used to determine systolic pressure. Importance: By observing mercury in the column while lowering air pressure with a control valve, blood pressure values (mm Hg) can be read. The peak pressure in the arteries during [cardiac cycle] is the systolic pressure, and the lowest pressure (in the resting phase of the cardiac cycle) is the diastolic pressure. The speaker is used in the audio style. Systolic pressure (first stage) is determined with the first continuous Krakow sound. The diastolic pressure is determined at the moment when the voices of Krautkov (stage 5) disappear. Types of sphygmomanometers 1. Digital with manual or automatic blower, these are electronic, easy to operate, and practical in noisy environments. But many of them have not been verified for all patient groups, and can give very inaccurate readings. These types measure the main pressure, then using an oscillometric measurement, they determine the values of systolic and diastolic pressure. Here we know that it actually does not measure blood pressure, but rather readings. Digital scales are not helpful facing "exceptional circumstances" that are not designed to be used: arteriosclerosis, arrhythmia, gestosis, mutual pulse and a paradoxical pulse. Some scales that come with a wrist strap are completely accurate, but they must be at the heart level when reading. 2. Portable digital with finger pressure gauge and automatic blower: This type is lighter and easier, and although it is less accurate it is smaller. 3. Manual: used by a trained person. Mercury scales are considered the "golden rule" for measurement because their measurement is absolute and does not require recalibration. For this reason it is often required in clinical trials of pharmaceuticals and in clinical assessments to determine blood pressure for patients with a high risk rate including pregnant women. Aneroid mechanical types are common in use, but they should be titrated against the mercury sphygmomanometer. The unit of blood pressure measurement is millimeter of mercury (mmHg). Blood pressure values are usually given as an even number. Manual sphygmomanometers require a stethoscope
