Blood Pressure
Types of Blood Pressure
Methods To Measure Blood
Blood Pressure


 Blood Pressure is the pressure exerted by circulating
 blood upon the walls of blood vessels
Types of Blood Pressure
 Systolic Blood Pressure:
 It is specifically the maximum arterial pressure during
 contraction of Heart



 Diastolic Blood Pressure :
 Diastolic pressure, refers to the lowest pressure within
 the arterial blood stream due to expansion of heart
Measurement of Blood Pressure
 There are 3 basic ways to measure the blood


 Auscultatory.
 Oscillometric.
 Direct Method.
Auscultatory Method
 The auscultatory method (from the Latin word for
 "listening") uses a stethoscope and a
 sphygmomanometer.
Types of Sphygmomanometer
 Mercury column sphygmomanometer.




 Aneroid sphygmomanometer.
Oscillometric Method
 The oscillometric method involves the observation of
 oscillations in the sphygmomanometer cuff pressure
Direct Method
 A thin tube is directly inserted in the body to assess
  pressure of the blood

 Two types of direct method


 H2O manometers
 Electronic manometers
H2O Manometers
 Thin manometer tube is directly inserted in the body
 having water in it .
Electronic manometers
 An electronic pressure transducer can be connected to
 the patient to find pressure by thin tubing called
 catheter
Thanks for Patience
