Physiology

Determination of Heart Rate and Pulse Rate of the patient

The heart rate is recorded as the number of times the heart beats per minute. Pulse rate is directly proportional to heart rate as it measures the expansion and contraction of the arteries in response to the heart rate per minute.

Recording of Blood Pressure of the patient using Sphygmomanometer

The measurement of blood pressure is one among the vital signs recorded along with others namely heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation. The normal Systolic blood pressure measured in adult is 120 millimeters of mercury and the normal Diastolic blood pressure is 80 millimeters of mercury.

Determination of bleeding time
