“The capillary was connected to a vacuum pump and the suction pressure could be regulated with a manometer.”

“One of the earliest measuring tools was a liquid-filled tube known as a manometer.”

“This is an inflatable cuff which fits round the upper arm and is connected to a mercury manometer.”

“An esophageal manometry revealed a normal function of the upper and lower esophageal sphincters.”

“Anorectal manometry is indicated to demonstrate the rectoanal inhibitory reflex and to rule out Hirschsprung's disease.”

“Esophageal manometry generally is used to accurately place ambulatory pH monitoring probes, although adequate placement recently has been reported with a tubeless system.”

“Other manometers contain a sealed-off vacuum at one end, so that changes in atmospheric pressure don't have to be accounted for in calculations.”

“First invented in the seventeenth century, manometers are used to measure the pressure of gases.”

“In animals it is easy to attach manometers to the carotid artery and to measure the blood pressure accurately.”
