I’ve watched so many videos on this to figure this out and I finally get it because of this video so thanks!

Excellent video! Great idea exploring the whats whys and hows, and not partially covering the subject. Science should always be precisely communicated

[acidponglish]

Very well made. Clear, detailed, understandable.

The threshold, as I learned from watching "John Q", for systolic blood pressure that leads to dangerous hypotension, is this ----

The optimal systolic BP to maintain health is 80 or more if it is low, but anything under 80 is a warning sign. A systolic BP of under 70 is a medical emergency and has to be resolved by raising systolic BP to 70 or more ASAP. Failure to keep that pressure at 70 or above at that point can lead to serious complications - one of which is fatal heart failure.

Hello, very useful video thank you from Italy

The video incorrectly identifies the reason for the Korotkoff sounds. These sounds are due to the turbulence of the blood as it moves through the partially obstructed artery. The artery does NOT alternate between compressed and open. Can you fix this error? Otherwise it is an excellent explanation on how to correctly take blood pressure measurements..

amazing video. I'm not even a medical student, maybe time for a change in career

[sahmadi]

What about the cheap automatic measuring tools that we can buy? Are they any accurate?

[nayanmipun]

Some say the last sound is diastolic and some say the no sound (phase 5) is diastolic

Is there substantial difference between different manual sphygmomanometers? I want to purchase a professional grade one but don't know which to choose...is there an industry standard that I should look for?
Thanks!

I have a few really annoying set of patients where after i adequately inflate the cuff 10 mmhg above cut off and then slowly deflate i hear muffled beats until i reach the first clear thump and it confuses me about which sound i should have considered as the "first"
so is it the first loudest thump? or the first muffled ?
