Zusammenfassung:An improved device and method is provided for accurately and consistently measuring blood pressure. The device includes a body having an insufflation bulb attached thereto. The bulb is connected to a blood pressure cuff. The cuff can be inflated using the insufflation bulb. A pressure release valve is then opened to slowly relieve pressure from the cuff, while the operator listens for the Korotkoff sounds using a stethoscope. A button on the body of the device is pressed by the operator when the systolic and diastolic sounds are heard. The device automatically records the pressures without the need for a visual reading when the button is depressed.
