How to make blood pressure normal and what is the correct way to measure blood pressure

The main causes of excessive pulse pressure difference are:

Excessive pulse pressure difference is seen in aortic regurgitation, aortic sclerosis, hyperthyroidism, severe anemia, rheumatic heart disease, partial congenital heart disease, and hypertensive heart disease.

1) Suffering from hypertension and arteriosclerosis, resulting in weakened elasticity of arterial walls, increased systolic blood pressure, and decreased diastolic blood pressure;

2) Long-term hypertension, resulting in overload of the myocardium, resulting in heart enlargement or valve regurgitation;

3) Hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism) or severe anemia.

Excessive pulse pressure difference can adversely affect the cardiovascular system, so it should be taken seriously.

**Due to the decline of blood pressure regulation function in the elderly, antihypertensive drugs should be used to start with a small dose, and then maintain ** after reaching the effective **dose, and then adjust the dose according to the situation. Drugs with long duration, stable blood pressure, small blood pressure, and protective effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels can be used, such as enalapril, perindopril, nifedipine controlled-release tablets, etc.

The normal range of blood pressure for adults is between 90 60 and 140 90, and the ideal blood pressure should be less than 120 80. Generally speaking, the blood pressure of young and middle-aged women is generally low, between 90 60 and 100 65 (some people are lower than 90 60, which is low blood pressure); Middle-aged and older men and postmenopausal women have higher blood pressure, between 120 80 and 135 85 (some people are higher than 140 90, which is hypertension). ]

To put it simply, a high pressure value of 90-140, a low pressure value of 60-90 is normal, and a heart rate value between 60 and 120 is normal

1 Measurement site: It is often measured at the brachial artery of the elbow fossa of the upper limb, and the artery of the leg fossa of the lower limb can also be removed.

2 Materials: sphygmomanometer, stethoscope.

3 How to Operate:

Before the measurement, the patient is given a 15-minute rest to eliminate the effects of exertion or stress on blood pressure.

Let the patient take a sitting or lying position, expose the right arm or left arm, roll up the sleeves to the shoulders, the cuffs should not be too tight, so as not to affect the blood flow, when the clothing is thick, take off one piece, straighten the elbows, and palm up.

Flatten the sphygmomanometer, drain the air in the cuff, wrap it in the middle of the upper arm smoothly and without folding, and the elastic should be a wonderful finger. Too tight can compress the blood vessels before they are inflated, making the measured blood pressure low; Too loose can make the air pocket balloon-shaped, which narrows the effective measurement area and makes the measured blood pressure high. The middle of the air bag should be in the cubital fossa, so that the pressure is just on the artery when inflated, the lower edge of the cuff is 2-3 cm above the cubital fossa, and the end is neatly tucked into the inner ring, and the mercury groove switch is turned on.

Put on a stethoscope and feel the brachial pulse point on the medial aspect of the cubital fossa. Place the stethoscope head close to the brachial artery of the cubital fossa, gently pressurize, fix it with your hand, close the valve screw cap on the balloon with the other hand, and hold the balloon direction.

Pump in the cuff until the brachial pulse sound disappears, then raise by another 20 to 30 mmHg, then slowly release the valve at a rate of 2 to 5 mmHg per second, slowly lowering the Hg and noting the scale to which the Hg refers. When sleeves.

When the intraband pressure gradually decreases to equal the contractility of the heart, blood can pass through the compressed artery during the contraction of the heart, and the first pulse is heard from the stethoscope, at which point the scale of the mercury finger is called the systolic blood pressure. Then the fluctuating sound continued.

Present and increase, when the pressure in the cuff is equal to the diastolic pressure, the pulsatile sound suddenly weakens or disappears, at which point the scale referred to by the mercury column is diastolic.

The measured values are recorded using a fractional formula, i.e., systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure mmhg. When dictating blood pressure values, systolic blood pressure should be read first, followed by diastolic blood pressure.

1. Choose the right blood pressure monitor: Generally, the most commonly used is a mercury column sphygmomanometer, and barometer sphygmomanometers and electronic sphygmomanometers are also commonly used. The width of the cuff of the sphygmomanometer should be able to cover 2 3 of the length of the upper arm, and the length of the cuff should be 2 3 of the circumference of the upper arm.

If the cuff is too narrow, the blood pressure value is high, and if the cuff is too long, the blood pressure value is low.

2. Choose the appropriate pressure measurement environment: the patient should rest for 5-10 minutes in a quiet and appropriate temperature environment, and should not be overly restrained between the sleeves and arms, so as to avoid pressure measurement in a state of stress, such as full shoulders or smoking, cold, and drinking coffee.

Mood and lifestyle can affect blood pressure.

Maintain emotional stability, quit smoking, limit alcohol, control weight, and eat a low-salt and low-fat diet.

It is regulated through emotion and clothing, food, housing and transportation.
