blood pressure
Blood pressure is one of the most common diseases in the world, and varies from person to person, where we find a person suffering from high, and we also find a person suffering from the decline, but in both cases known as the patient of the disease as a patient pressure, and varied causes of this disease, However, doctors have shown that the most common cause of this infection is excessive intake of salts, as well as excessive smoking, and the intake of caffeine and stimulants frequently.
The normal blood pressure is between 80 and 120 mmHg, so any increase above this rate is known as high blood pressure, which is the most difficult, as this height leads to heart and kidney problems, and may also lead to stroke and sometimes rupture of the network in the eye , And any decrease also known as low blood pressure, this results from a defect in the functions of the thyroid gland and also in the adrenal gland.
Pressure measurement of the Sphygmomanometer
By following these steps, we can measure blood pressure properly, and never questionable:
- It is assumed to sit upright on a chair, with the back held, the hand is placed flat with the heart, and the device is placed at the same level of the heart, taking into account that some patients can not sit, can measure the pressure as they are seated, Close to the heart.
- We attach the device belt to the hand, in the area above the elbow, so that the end of the belt is from the joint opposite the elbow.
- The headset is placed inside the belt, that is, between the belt and the skin, where the artery is present, and we should not only press the headset but fasten it.
- The air valve which is in the manual pump is closed.
- You can start by pumping the air by pressing the pump and for several times, observing the arrival of the indicator on the mercury balance to 200 mmHg, then place the earpiece in the ear.
- Here we start by injecting the air into the belt by reaching 200 on the indicator by gently and gradually removing the pump screw. We are waiting for the first pulse to hear from the speaker. We record the first pulse with the indicator number, known as systolic pressure Any rugs.
- At the last pulse we hear as we watch the indicator, we record the value, which is known as diastolic pressure, and this is known as the sound of blood while it is running.
If we follow these steps with all due attention, we have properly and correctly measured blood pressure, and there is no doubt about its results. Today we find in the market electronic devices that are easy to use and can be used by anyone to be held in the wrist by wearing the device as a bracelet, A push-button automatically automatically fills the pump with air and records the result that appears a minute later on the screen.
