Detailed explanation-1: -The sphygmomanometer is a device that uses an inflating rubber cuff to measure blood pressure by wrapping it around the arm. This is linked to the mercury column, which aids in the calculation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Several instruments can measure blood pressure quickly and with little discomfort. A sphygmomanometer is commonly used. It consists of a soft rubber cuff connected to a rubber bulb that is used to inflate the cuff and a meter that registers the pressure of the cuff.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) because the first instrument used to measure it was a mercury column. When a sphygmomanometer is used, a person sits with legs uncrossed and back supported.
