Q

cannot be used to measure the diastolic pressure

A

31
Q

stethoscope used to listen to changes in sounds from the brachial artery

A

auscultatory method

32
Q

as the pressure decreases, you can hear four phases of sound changes

A

auscultatory method

33
Q

four phases of sounds in the auscultatory method

A

Korotkoff sounds

34
Q

fairly sharp thudding sound that increases in intensity for next 10 mmHg of pressure drop- first sound that appears is the systolic pressure

A

phase 1

35
Q

sound becomes a softer murmur during the next 10-15 mmHg drop in pressure

A

phase 2

36
Q

sounds becomes louder again and have a sharper thudding during the next 10-15 mmHg of pressure drop

A

phase 3

37
Q

sounds become suddenly muffled and reduce in intensity- this marks the diastolic pressure- and continues for another 5 mmHg in pressure drop after which all sound disappears

A

phase 4

38
Q

the point where the sound completely ceases in the auscultatory method

A

end diastolic pressure

39
Q

= mean blood pressure / cardiac output

A

formula for total peripheral resistance

40
Q

= [systolic pressure + (2 x diastolic pressure)] / 3 // (pulse pressure x heart rate)

A

formula for estimation of total peripheral resistance

41
Q

vasoconstriction of blood vessels

increase in total peripheral resistance

42
Q
