1. Dr. Manoj K. Bangadkar SSJ College Arjuni / Mor BLOOD PRESSURE (BP)

2. The force or lateral pressure which the blood exerts on the wall of the blood vessels through which it is flowing 18-Oct-19 MKB

3. Measurement of BP Sphygmomanometer 18-Oct-19 MKB

4. Measurement Procedure 18-Oct-19 MKB

5. Principle involved in recording of BP 18-Oct-19 MKB

6. Systolic vs. Diastolic BP Pulse Pressure: The difference between systolic and diastolic pressure It is about 40 mmHg 18-Oct-19 MKB

7. Normal ranges of BP 18-Oct-19 MKB

8. Factors affecting BP 18-Oct-19 MKB

9. Factors Maintaining BP Cardiac output Total blood volume Nervous control of blood vessel ( Vasomotion ) Elasticity of arterial wall Venous return Viscocity of blood 18-Oct-19 MKB

10. Normal functions of BP Maintain a sufficient pressure head to keep blood flowing Filtration at capillary bed The height of blood pressure gives correct information about the state of a circulatory system as a whole and also about the functional conditions of the tissue cells and organs 18-Oct-19 MKB

11. High BP Any value above 150 mmHg in a healthy adult considered as High BP Continuous (All the time) high blood pressure causes Hypertension Causes of Hypertension : Thickeness or hardening of the arteries due to deposit of calcium ( Arterosclerosis ) Kidney disease (Nephritis) Stress : Physical, Social or Professional Smoking Heredity 18-Oct-19 MKB

12. Symptoms of Hypertension : Headache, Throbbing of head, Tiredness, Fatigue, Dizziness and pulpation of heart Heart, brain and kidney may be affected May arise apolectic stroke Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension : Mild excersise Avoiding beverages Reduce salt Reserpine obtained from the roots of herb Rouwolfia 18-Oct-19 MKB

13. Low BP A fall in systolic blood pressure below normal range is called low BP Reading below 80 mmHg Continuous (All the time) low blood pressure causes Hypotension Causes Shock Severe haemorrhage burning Heart diseases Endocrine disturbances like hypothyroidism and Addisons disease of the Adrenal gland 18-Oct-19 MKB

14. Symptoms : Tired Worn out attitude Prevention and Treatment : Sufficient rest Mild exercise Consumption of bevarages 18-Oct-19 MKB
