2. Blood pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure_measurement

   Blood pressure measurement. A medical student checking blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Arterial blood pressure is most commonly measured via a sphygmomanometer, which historically used the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure. [ 1] Blood pressure values are generally reported in millimetres ...

3. Auscultatory gap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auscultatory_gap

   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 ...

4. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

   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.

5. Pulsus paradoxus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsus_paradoxus

   8452-5. Pulsus paradoxus, also paradoxic pulse or paradoxical pulse, is an abnormally large decrease in stroke volume, systolic blood pressure (a drop more than 10 mmHg) and pulse wave amplitude during inspiration. Pulsus paradoxus is not related to pulse rate or heart rate, and it is not a paradoxical rise in systolic pressure.

   Choose a certified blood pressure cuff: The AHA recommends choosing a validated, automatic, cuff-style, upper-arm monitor. Don’t choose a wrist or finger monitor as they are not as reliable.

7. Labile hypertension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labile_hypertension

   avoidance of smoking, limited alcohol intake, reduced intake of salt and caffeine. Labile hypertension occurs when there are unexpected changes in blood pressure. The term can be used to describe when people have blood pressure measurements that abruptly fluctuate from being abnormally high, approximately 140/90 mm Hg or over and returns to its ...

8. Mean arterial pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_arterial_pressure

   D062186. In medicine, the mean arterial pressure ( MAP) is an average calculated blood pressure in an individual during a single cardiac cycle. [ 1] Although methods of estimating MAP vary, a common calculation is to take one-third of the pulse pressure (the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures ), and add that amount to the ...

9. Continuous noninvasive arterial pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_noninvasive...

   It establishes correct mean arterial blood pressure in the finger cuff by checking typical characteristics of the pulse wave. VERIFI-correction is performed after every heart beat, as vasomotor changes can occur immediately. This allows for a true continuous CNAP-signal without interruption during hemodynamic instable situations.
