|
Blood Pressure
Definition |
The pressure exerted by the blood as it flows through the arteries.
|
|
Pulse Pressure Equation
|
Systolic - Diastolic = Pulse Pressure
eg: 116/70 = 116 - 70 = 46 |
|
Hypertension
|
Blood pressure that is persistently above normal. Diagnosed with at least an elevated blood pressure st two different times.
|
|
Hypotension
|
A blood pressure that is below normal. Systolic reading consistently between 85 and 110 mmHg in an adult.
|
|
Orthostatic Hypotension
|
A blood pressure that falls when the client sits or stands.
|
|
Blood Pressure - Adult
