Of the huge number of videos available about blood pressure monitoring here is one which I particularly liked.
i finally got a monitor that has an SpO2 (pulse oximetry) module as well… so you can not only see my EKG, but also my respiratory frequency AND oxygen saturation! =) i also got a NIBP (non-invasive blood pressure) module, but it’ll be about two weeks until i have the fitting adapter for it. then i will be able to monitor EKG, RESP, SpO2, NIBP. yay! \o/

Question by TheCurious: Blood pressure monitor for use in India?
What blood pressure monitor would be good for use in India?

Blood pressure monitoring is essentially standardied worldwide, measured in Hgmm (millimeters of mercury). Your blood pressure should be the same no matter where you are geographically.

Question posed by babu: Are battery operated digital wrist held blood pressure monitors accurate compared to old mercury type?
I have recently bought a Braun battery operated wrist held digital blood pressure monitor to check pressure at home. Many persons say that these digital types are not accurate compared to old conventional mercury type. Then I checked and compared the readings of both types at same time and both gave different readings. Can anyone please advise whether the digital types give accurate readings or not ?.

A question from Roland: Should I tust my personal Blood Pressure Monitor?
Each time I go to the store , It gives me high readings. Like today:
148/98 then later 145/92 then 139/90 that was my last reading at the store. However when I get home I use my BP monitor called Omron HEM-780 supposely very accurate and my readings are around 125/85.
A lot of people are telling me that the store monitors are not as accurate and the noice & everything makes people more nervous therefore give higher readings. What should I trust?
Best answer:
Answer by Dave h
you should trust the one at home as you are relaxed and therefore the reading will be more accurate when i was younger doctors thought i suffered from high blood pressure but it turned out that i only had high BP when at hospitials becasue of my nerves .
hopes this helps
