1.1 Generation of Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force exerted by your blood against your artery walls. It's crucial for
delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout your body. Blood pressure readings consist of
two numbers:
•Systolic pressure (top number): This measures the pressure when your heart contracts
and pushes blood out to your body.
•Diastolic pressure (bottom number): This measures the pressure between heartbeats,
when your heart relaxes and refills with blood.
There are two main methods for measuring blood pressure non-invasively:
•Auscultatory Method: This traditional method uses a stethoscope and an inflatable
cuff. The doctor listens for tapping sounds (Korotkoff sounds) through the stethoscope
as the cuff pressure is gradually released. Systolic pressure is determined at the first
appearance of the sound, and diastolic pressure is measured when the sounds
disappear.
•Oscillometric Method: This automated method uses an electronic device to measure
blood pressure. The cuff inflates and deflates, and the device detects pressure
fluctuations in the artery. These fluctuations are converted into systolic and diastolic
pressure readings
