[PHYSIO LAB FINALS] BLOOD PRESSURE

Blood Pressure

What is the force exerted by circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels?

Systolic Pressure

What is the arterial pressure when the ventricles contract and eject blood?

Diastolic Pressure

What is the arterial pressure when the ventricles relax between beats?

Millimeters of Mercury (mmHg)

What is the unit used to express a blood pressure reading?

120/80 mmHg

What is the example of a blood pressure reading where 120 is systolic and 80 is diastolic?

Pulse Pressure (PP)

What is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure?

PP = SBP − DBP

What formula is used to calculate pulse pressure?

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

What is the average pressure in the arteries during one cardiac cycle?

MAP = DBP + 1/3 (PP)

What formula estimates mean arterial pressure at normal heart rates?

93 mmHg

What is the approximate mean arterial pressure for a blood pressure reading of 120/80 mmHg?

Assess Circulation

What purpose of blood pressure measurement provides information about arterial pressure and cardiovascular function?

Monitor Changes

What purpose of repeated blood pressure measurements helps identify trends over time?

Guide Decisions

What purpose of accurate blood pressure measurements supports clinical assessment and management?

Sphygmomanometer

What equipment is used to measure blood pressure?

Aneroid

What type of mechanical blood pressure monitor operates without mercury?

Stethoscope

What equipment is used to listen to internal sounds of the body, including the heart, lungs, intestines, and blood flow?

Brachial Artery

What large, superficial artery is easily accessible in the upper arm and used for blood pressure measurement?

Level of the Heart

Where should the brachial artery be positioned when the arm is properly positioned for blood pressure measurement?

Korotkoff Sounds

What sounds are heard through the stethoscope when measuring blood pressure manually?

Disappearance of Sounds

What Korotkoff sound event is used to identify diastolic pressure in routine adult measurement?

Resting (Before Exercise)

When should the initial blood pressure measurement be taken to establish the baseline before exercise?

Immediately After Exercise

When should blood pressure be measured to assess its condition directly following physical activity?

Recovery After 2 Minutes

When should the first specified recovery blood pressure measurement be taken after exercise?

Recovery After 5 Minutes

When should the second specified recovery blood pressure measurement be taken after exercise?

Change from Resting (+ or -)

What recorded value indicates the increase or decrease in blood pressure compared with the resting measurement?

Normal

What AHA blood pressure category has systolic pressure under 120 and diastolic pressure under 80?

Elevated

What AHA blood pressure category has systolic pressure of 120–129 and diastolic pressure under 80?

Hypertension Stage 1

What AHA blood pressure category has systolic pressure of 130–139 or diastolic pressure of 80–89?

Hypertension Stage 2

What AHA blood pressure category has systolic pressure of ≥140 or diastolic pressure of ≥90?

Crisis

What AHA blood pressure category has systolic pressure of >180 or diastolic pressure of >120?

7.5 Million Deaths

According to the WHO statistic presented, how many estimated deaths worldwide are caused by hypertension?

12.8%

According to the WHO statistic presented, what percentage of all total deaths is attributed to hypertension?
