The normal BP cuff using instrument is called as____________(a) Spirometer(b) Sphygmomanometer(c) Stethoscope(d) Oscilloscope |
|
Answer» Right choice is (b) Sphygmomanometer Explanation: The most commonly seen and used BP measuring instrument is the sphygmomanometer. It consists of a cuff, a bulb for inflation and a mercury column to show the pressure. When the cuff is inflated, the pressure exerted on the cuff is shown on the mercury scale. The mercury rises up and once external pumping of the air stops, the mercury falls down. It stops two times and this is the recorded blood pressure. |

The regular BP cuff is a non – invasive method of measuring blood pressure.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was posed to me in a national level competition.The origin of the question is Measuring Blood Pressure & Pulse Oximetry in portion Diagnostic Investigation in Neurology and Cardiology of Clinical Science |
|
Answer» The correct option is (a) True To explain I would say: BP cuff is a non invasive method of measuring blood pressure. The measuring is done by checking the pressure being applied to the mercury column due to the inflated cuff. When the cuff is inflated, it is in close contact with the arteries. Thus, the flowing blood in the arteries puts pressure on the inflated cuff which is recorded and represented by the mercury column. |
