Abstract

Blood pressure machines are one of the primary diagnostic tools used by health care workers. Sphygmomanometers are used for determining the patient’s resting blood pressure, one of the preliminary tests that health care workers may perform. A diagnosis of high or low blood pressure can be indicative of other, more serious diseases. There are three main types of blood pressure machines: mercury, aneroid, and electronic.
