SPHYGMOMANOMETERS & BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS
Diagram showing how blood flow changes during BP readings. Rurbulent blood flow produces Korotkoff sounds.

Another diagram showig blood flow changes during BP readings. Turbulent blood flow produces Korotkoff sounds.

This is the digital sphygmomanometer. After inflation, it automatically deflates & then gives both your BP & pulse results. The green band marks where the cuff sits above the brachial artery.

A close up view of the digital readout that will show both your systolic & diastolib BP, in mmHg and also give your heart rate (pulse) in beats/minute.

This is a view of the manual sphygmomanometer. You must listen for the Korotkoff sounds using a stethoscope to determine someone's systolic & diastolic BP.

 

This is a close up of the dial on the manual sphygmomanometer.
