2. A sphygmomanometer , blood pressure meter , blood pressure monitor or blood pressure gauge (also referred to as a sphygmometer ) is a device used to measure blood pressure composed of an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, and a mercury or mechanical monometer to measure the pressure. Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope .

3. The word comes from the Greek ( sphygmos , pulse), plus the scientific term manometer (pressure meter). The device was invented by Samuel Siegfried in 1881 . The usual unit of measurement of blood pressure is millimeters of mercury (mmHg) as measured directly by a manual sphygmomanometer HISTORY

5. Manual Sphygmomanometer Manual sphygmomanometers require a stethoscope for auscultation. They are used by trained practitioners. It is possible to obtain a basic reading through palpation alone, but this only yields the systolic pressure.

6. Digital Digital , using oscillometric measurements and electronic calculations rather than auscultation. They may use manual or automatic inflation. These are electronic, easy to operate without training, and can be used in noisy environments; they are not as accurate as mercury instruments. They measure systolic and diastolic pressures by oscillometric detection

9. The stethoscope is an acoustic medical device for auscultation or listening to the internal sounds of an animal or human body. Stethoscope

10. It is a medical instrument for listening to the action of someone's heart or breathing, typically having a small disc-shaped resonator that is placed against the chest, and two tubes connected to earpieces. It is often used to listen to lung and heart sounds. It is also used to listen to intestines and blood flow in arteries and veins.

11. In combination with a sphygmomanometer. It is commonly used for measurements of blood pressure. Less commonly, "mechanic's stethoscopes" are used to listen to internal sounds made by machines, such as diagnosing a malfunctioning automobile engine by listening to the sounds of its internal parts. The stethoscope was invented in France in 1816 by René Laennec in Paris
