Systolic - Top Number to indicate the pressure on the walls of arteries while the heart is contracting.
Diastolic - The lower number indicating the pressure on the walls of arteries while the heart is at rest.
Sphygmomanometer - The gauge used for measuring the blood pressure.
Stethoscope - Listening device to heart the sound of each heart beat while taking blood pressure.
Korotkoff - Sounds of blood flow that appear and disappear as the cuff is inflated and deflated.
Brachial Artery - An artery found where the sphygmomanometer is placed for blood pressure
measurement.
mmHg - A unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury
one millimeter high and used in blood pressure dials.
Normal Range - The normal adult range for a blood pressure is 120/80.
Carotid pulse - Pulse site found in to the right of the trachea and is the most accessible site.
Radial pulse - The pulse site found on the inside of the wrist down the thumb.
BP - blood pressure
blood pressure - the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels in the
heart
Top number (systolic) - When the sound of blood moving is first heard
Bottom number (diastolic) - When the sound of blood moving is no longer heard
Procedure for taking blood pressure - 1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm.
2. Lightly press the stethoscope's diaphragm over the brachial artery just under the cuff's edge.
3. Rapidly inflate the cuff to 180mmHg.
4. Release air from the cuff at a moderate rate.
5. Listen with the stethoscope and simultaneously observe the sphygmomanometer.
6. The first knocking sound (Korotkoff) is the subject's systolic pressure.
7. When the knocking sound disappears, that is the diastolic pressure (such as 120/80).
8. Record BP.
Blood pressure in the arteries is highest - during ventricular contraction, or systole (systolic)
Blood pressure in the arteries is lowest - during ventricular relaxation, or diastole (diastolic
