Question

1-Automated blood pressure cuffs are widely found – people have them in their homes, certified nurse aids and some medical assistants use them, and you can often find an automated blood pressure cuff at the pharmacy.

a)The automated, consumer-grade blood pressure cuff does not auscultate pulse sounds. How does it pick up systolic and diastolic pressure?

b) do you think that automated blood pressure cuffs are more reliable or less reliable than auscultation? Why?

c) Despite possible inaccuracies, why might they still be so popular? Who might benefit from using one?

2-Diabetes and high blood pressure often go hand in hand. Explain the physiological mechanism / process for how having diabetes can lead to high blood pressure.

Explanation / Answer

Automated consumer graded blood pressure cufs don't use auscultation for measuring blood pressure rather than they use oscillometric method for picking up diastolic and systolic pressure.
1 b. Auscultation based blood pressure cuffs are more reliable because they gives the actual or near about actual blood pressure.
1 c. Although the accuracy rate is low in Automated due to hindrance in oscillometric interaction but still now these are popular because these are easy to use and if used propprop it will give accurate results and due to digital format of result interpretation is easy. Also these are very small and can transported easily.
2.Diabetes is occurs by reduced production of insulin resulting high amount of fat and sodium due to this it will deposit in vessel and responsible for Atherosclerosis..in this condition the blood vessel become narrow. Due to less space to pass blood there is pressure create on heart. Systolic pressure is mainly affected. Normal bp is 120/80mm Hg but diabetic person have more than 130/90 this pressure raised up by narrow vessels.
