SPHYGMOMANOMETER The word sphygmomanometer is derived from the Greek word ‘sphygmos’ meaning beating of the heart or the pulse and manometer mean the device used for measuring the pressure or tension. This instrument was invented by Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch in the year 1881.
TYPES OF SPHYGMOMANOMETER Three major types of sphygmomanometer Mercury sphygmomanometer Aneroid sphygmomanometer Automatic digital sphygmomanometer
Mercury sphygmomanometer The mercury sphygmomanometer combined with an inflated cuff.
Aneroid sphygmomanometer Aneroid means “without fluid” and in this instrument, there is no use of mercury.
The instrument needs to be recalibrated to avoid faulty readings. There are other different types of aneroid sphygmomanometer depending upon their use they are: Pocket-aneroid sphygmomanometer Palm aneroid sphygmomanometer Clock-style aneroid sphygmomanometer
Pocket-aneroid sphygmomanometer
Palm aneroid sphygmomanometer
Automatic digital sphygmomanometer It is the most technologically advanced sphygmomanometer.
It consists of an electronic sensor to measure the blood pressure and the readings are displayed on the digital monitor. In order to measure the blood pressure, the instrument measure the fluctuations of arteries. These need to be checked using a mercury sphygmomanometer to avoid inaccurate readings.
Parts of sphygmomanometer Bladder: This is an inflatable bag that is used to compress the arm to occlude the artery. Cuff: This is designed to hold the bladder around the arm during the measurement. Manometer: This is a device used to measure the air pressure in mmHg.
STETHOSCOPE The stethoscope(also known as Aala) is an acoustic medical device for auscultation, or listening to the internal sounds of human body It is also used to listen bowel sound and blood flow in arteries and veins.
Thermometer A thermometer is a device that is used to measure the temperature of a body.
Types of thermometer Digital thermometers. Digital thermometers are regarded as the fastest and most accurate type of thermometer. Electronic ear thermometers. Forehead thermometers. Plastic strip thermometers. Pacifier thermometer. Glass and mercury thermometers.
Electronic ear thermometers Digital thermometers
Forehead thermometers
Plastic strip thermometers.
Pacifier thermometer
Glass and mercury thermometers.
GLUCOMETER A blood glucose meter is often called a glucometer or glucose meter or sugar meter. Glucometer is fundamentally a medical device which measures the concentration of glucose in human blood. A blood glucose meter is a small, portable machine
Hammer A reflex hammer is a medical instrument used by practitioners to test deep tendon reflexes. Testing for reflexes is an important part of the neurological physical examination in order to detect abnormalities in the central or peripheral nervous system.
uses The reflex hammer is an important diagnostic tool used by physicians to test deep tendon reflexes, an essential part of the neurological physical examination in order to assess the peripheral and central nervous system.
The Taylor Reflex Hammer is a classic diagnostic neurological medical instrument used to test joint reflexes or bone fractures in the joints. This Taylor Hammer features a triangular rubber head with a sturdy metal handle. It is widely used by practitioners to test deep tendon reflexes.
CANNULA A thin tube inserted into a vein or body cavity to administer medication, drain off fluid, or insert a surgical instrument.
There are 3 main types of IV cannulas Peripheral IV Cannula, Central Line IV Cannula And Mid-line IV Cannula. The central line intravenous cannulas are used for long term treatments, followed by midline cannulas used in less invasive scenarios.
peripheral IV Cannula
Central Line IV Cannula
Common uses of IV cannulas include Blood Transfusions Or Draws Administering Medication Providing Fluids
IV SET There are a wide variety of IV sets and uses for these IV sets. IV Administration sets are designed to optimize infusion delivery, reduce the risk of infection for the patient, and to keep access sites clean and protected.
Blood trasfusion A procedure in which whole blood or parts of blood are put into a patient's bloodstream through a vein. The blood may be donated by another person or it may have been taken from the patient and stored until needed.

Oxygen Mask Oxygen therapy is a treatment that delivers oxygen gas for you to breathe. You can receive oxygen therapy from tubes resting in your nose, a face mask, or a tube placed in your trachea, or windpipe. This treatment increases the amount of oxygen your lungs receive and deliver to your blood
