When korotkoff sounds evaluated?
While taking blood pressure
Is the systolic number on top?
Yes. The bottom number is the diastolic pressure.
Calculation of rate-pressure product?
Rate-pressure product = Heart rate * Systolic pressure
Is a gram measured in kilograms?
A gram is measured in grams. A kilogram is measured in kilograms.
SI measure of force and weight?
Force is measured in Newtons. Weight is a force, therefore it is also measured in Newtons.Force is measured in Newtons.

What produces the systolic korotkoff sound?
The first Korotkoff sound is the sound produced by the turbulence of the AV (atrioventricular valves) closing specifically the tricuspid and mitral valves. The second Korotkoff sound is produced by the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves. You can hear a splitting of the second heart sound in a highly efficient heart.
How is blood circulation measured?
systolic/diastolic measured by blood pressure cuff
The peak blood pressure measured during ventricular systole is called?
Systolic Pressure
Which reading is measured when the heartbeat ceases to be audible?
systolic
How do you Explain the underlying cause of the Korotkoff Sounds that you detected with the Cardio Microphone as the cuff pressure was decreased?
When the blood pressure cuff is inflated, the blood flow is stopped. Slowly the cuff is decreased. When the technician starts to hear the blood flow, these are called Korotkoff Sounds. This pressure point defines the systolic pressure.
What type of blood pressure is measured when the left ventricle is contracting?
The systolic pressure.
Describe what are sounds of korotkoff?
Sounds of korotkoff are the sounds that can be auscultated over a partically occluded artery.
What is the force measured during the heart's ventricular contractions called?
systolic pressure
Named after Nikolai Korotkoff a Russian physician who described them in 1905 what would your doc do to hear Korotkoff sounds?
check your blood pressure
What sound get between systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
If you are manually taking a blood pressure measurement using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope, the sounds you hear between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure are called Korotkoff sounds, and they are muffled "whooshing" sounds heard with each heart beat and are thought to be caused by turbulent blood flow through the blood vessel caused by partial occlusion by the cuffed sphygmomanometer.
What is the medical term for when sounds stop and restart while taking BP?
The first Korotkoff sound is when you first hear the pulse, and the fifth Korotkoff sound is when you no longer hear the post. Sometimes, there will also be an "auscultory gap," when you have a period with no sounds with korotkoff sounds heard before and after the gap.
What are the five phases of the Korotkoff sounds?
there are 5 phases
