Learned about the vagaries of commercial common blood pressure monitors. Automatic monitors lost their accuracy over extended periods of time because of a lack of calibration. Blood pressure (BP) . is the pressure or tension exerted on the arterial walls as blood pulsates through them (principal vital sign). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) . – pressure exerted on the arteries during the contraction phase of the heartbeat. . To reach your hands and feet, blood has to leave your heart (Left Ventricle) under very . high pressure. . . Blood Pressure. The aorta . has the highest pressure. (100mm Hg). As the blood gets farther away and the blood vessels get smaller, the pressure decreases. .  Closes the profile in both directions Clever system of eccentric lever with disc springs (patent applied for) Easy and quick adjustment according to used material and s Teaching pointHigh intracranial pressure (ICP) will causedistortion and pressure on cranial nerves andvital neurological centres.

People with hypotension may experience symptoms when their blood pressure drops below 90/60.. CAUSE. Our blood pressure varies throughout the day. There are various factors that cause this fluctuation. Body positions, the level of stress, physical condition, medications, eating and drinking habits are a few factors responsible for low blood pressure. Blood pressure usually decreases when you are asleep and as you wake up, it sharply rises..
