Indirect Arterial Pressure Measurement

This lecture covers the indirect measurement of arterial pressure using sensors, focusing on the Korotkoff and oscillometry methods. It explains how cuff pressure is used to estimate systolic and diastolic pressures, as well as mean arterial pressure. The Korotkoff method involves detecting sounds related to blood flow, while oscillometry directly measures pressure changes. Additionally, tonometry for vessel wall flattening and intraocular pressure measurement methods are discussed, including the Ziemer tonometer and Wheatstone bridge connections.
