Conventional sphygmomanometry is recommended for general use, but systolic pressure is preferred to diastolic pressure because of greater accuracy and reproducibility. |
Heart rate, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure were recorded by electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, and sphygmomanometry, respectively. |
Although it will be some years before any move is made to replace the millimetre of mercury, we must prepare for changes in clinical sphygmomanometry. |
A total of 19 attending physicians were assessed for ability in measuring PP by sphygmomanometry and by palpation. |
Aortic stiffness index was calculated from aortic diameters measured by echocardiography and blood pressures simultaneously measured by sphygmomanometry. |
Office-based measurement of blood pressure using aneroid or mercury sphygmomanometry is central to such visits. |
