Blood pressure
•Is the force/pressure of the bloodpushing againsts the walls of thearteries
• With each hearbeat, blood isbeing puped out into ourarteries and throughout thebody,

Blood !ressure
• "he lainar #ow that norallyoccurs in arteries produces little$ibration of the arterial wall andtherefore no sounds% 'owe$er,
when an artery is partiallyconstricted, blood #ow becoesturbulent, causing the artery to
$ibrate and produce sounds%

Blood !ressure
•
When easuring blood pressure using thauscultation ethod, turbulent blood #ow woccur when the cu( pressure is greater thathe diastolic pressure and less than the systolpressure% "he )tapping) sounds associate
with the turbulent #ow are *nown as Korotkosounds% +eeber that these sounds are noto be confused with the heart sounds produceby the opening and closing of the heart $al$es%

ystolic $s -iastolic
•
.2/0 1 top nuber is the systolicpressure and the botto is thediastolic
• ystolic pressure is the pressure on
the arteries as the heart contractsand pups blood
• -iastolic pressure is the pressure onthe arteries when the heart is at rest
in between heartbeats

Errors in blood pressure readings:
• "he cuf is not o the proper size: if the cu( is toothe blood pressure readings ay be artefactually highcu( is too big, the readings ay be artefactually low%
•
"he cu( is positioned too loosely: the blood pressuray be artefactually high%
• "he centre of the cu( bladder is not positioned ovebrachial artery%
