Question

Sullary questions. 1. What was the participant's blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) by auscultation? 2. What was the participant's mean arterial pressure? (show calculations)

Answer 1

Auscultation is a method of diagnosis for evaluation of blood pressure of an individual, by this method general physician uses stethoscope to hear the sound produced by heart (this method also use for functionality of the lungs also). This sound generates when the heart contracts or relaxes and this type of pressure is named as systolic and diastolic pressure. Doctors analyses a tapping sound which occurs when irregular of disturbed cuff pressure present in an individual with higher diastolic pressure than the systolic one. This method is also known as manual method. In this case all values are normal and showing no absnormality.

		Systolic BP	Diastolic BP
	Lying	125	85
	Sitting	120	80
	Standing	115	75
Mean BP		120	80
Normal range		120	80
Therefore, average blood pressure of the participant is 120/80 which is healthy bp (normal range)
PLEASE NOTE ALSO
Hypotension range is less than 120/80
Pre Hypertension (borderline hypertension 139/89
Hypertension more than 140/90
