what is used with a sphygmomanometer
It is always used in conjunction with a means to determine at what pressure blood flow is just starting, and at what pressure it is unimpeded. Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope. The word comes from the Greek ÏÏÏÎ³Î¼ÏÏ (sphygmos, pulse), plus the scientific term manometer (pressure meter).
