Objective: Use cuff manometry to measure arterial blood pressure. Questions: 1. My blood pressure for this lab was 123/78. These numbers are normal‚ compared to the normal rating of 120/80. My pulse pressure was 45 (SP – DP). My mean arterial pressure was 93 (DP + 1/3 (SP – DP). 2. Mean arterial blood pressure is determined by cardiac output and total vascular resistance. The mathematical equation for mean arterial blood pressure is equal to cardiac output x total vascular resistance. The amount

Blood pressure may be one of the least complicated to monitor‚ yet possibly one with the highest probability to bring on complications if left untreated. Blood pressure readings are measured in millimeters of mercury. An instrument called a sphygomanometer is used to measure your systolic and diastolic pressure. Written in the form of a fraction‚ the top number is the systolic pressure‚ and the bottom is the diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is measuring the amount of pressure that the

Your blood pressure is at its highest when the heart beats‚ pumping the blood.
