Blood pressure measurement: algorithm, norm

Arterial pressure is the pressure that blood exerts on the walls of the vessels. This pressure is somewhat less in peripheral, smaller vessels. It fluctuates due to the contractile function of the heart.

Study of arteries

Peripheral arterial circulation disorders are usually more severe in the elderly due to the deterioration of collateral blood flow.

Study of veins

. Evaluation of the veins is important for examination and palpation. When blood flow is disturbed in a large vein, collateral circulation rapidly develops.

Percussion and palpation of the spleen

There are many methods of percussion of the spleen, which is explained by the difficulties in choosing the optimal anatomical-topographical landmarks.

Duodenal sounding of the gallbladder
