The modern image and rhythm of life contributed to rejuvenation and an increase in vascular diseases. This requires more close attention to their health and warning of heart pathologies. Even if you do not suffer hypertension, it is necessary to measure pressure daily to control your health, and it is possible to make it high quality with a medical device - a tonometer. Let's figure it out in this medical product which of the proposed models is most convenient and is able to give clear indicators of the measurements.
1
For accurate pressure measurement, a large good artery is needed, which will clearly reflect the condition and the tone of peripheral vessels. This shoulder artery (measurements on which are conducted by apparatus with a cuff, locking on the shoulder), you will find it at the location of the elbow bend. When choosing a tonometer, it is worth paying attention to this, since with atherosclerotic age damage to the vessel, the authenticity of measurements carried out by a cuptum tonometer will not be true at the forearm. Such a category does not take into account if you suffer hypertension and your age above average, it is suitable for the measurements of the pulse with young people actively engaged in sports.

A mechanical classic tonometer with a cuff on the shoulder consists of a pear, a stetofendoscope, a pressure gauge and a regulating cuff. To measure pressure, such an apparatus you need extraneous assistance. But, if you catch yourself to use the device yourself, the pressure indicators will not be accurate, since when a pear injected air into the cuff you can increase the pulse. You will also have to look closely into digital values \u200b\u200bon the manometer, which is not very convenient to do with poor eyesight. The advantage of this type of tonometer before others is low price.

In a mechanical committed model, a phononadoscope with a cuff, which is often attached to the manometer scale. Self measure the pressure with such a device is easier than a classic tonometer, since it is possible to carry out all manipulations by one hand. All you need to do is hear the upper and lower tones and see the numbers on the pressure gauge.

In the electronic semi-automatic tonometer, the measurement principle is electronic, but the injection of air into the cuff manual, as in the classical model of mechanical type. In such tonometers there are no Phononendoscope, since they are equipped with an LCD display, on which, in addition to pressure data, the pulse indicator is issued thanks to the built-in indicator. Such devices are accurate in data during measurements, convenient and most acceptable in the price category of essential goods.

The electronic automatic tonometer with cuff on the shoulder works thanks to one press of the button. There are such models from the network or on batteries. Air discharge, its descent, measurement of pressure indicators and pulse machine performs independently. Such tonometers are equipped with the memory function of several last indicators, clock, calendar and other useful features. All measurement data are displayed on the LCD. Use such a tonometer is convenient and easy. The only drawback of such models is the price, but comfort and rationality justify the high cost of the device.
6
For people with a disturbed heart rhythm or a weak pulse, the best model is a special intelligent tonometer. Such models must be equipped with a special "Intellect" function, which allows measuring pressure when changing the rhythm of the heart. The elderly often occurs flickering arrhythmia, and other models of tonometers the result of the measurement is issued an "error" inscription.
All kinds of tonometers with a shoulder cuff (by the way, it should approach the size of the shoulder, if the cuff will be less - the digits of pressure will be increased) are characterized by high accuracy in blood pressure indicators. Determine for yourself which model will be most convenient for you and what money you have, since the price of the device increases in proportion to its functional features.
I bought a recently my favorite granny with grandfaths automatic Tonometer Omron M2 Basic. It turned out to be very simple and convenient to use. The usual classic cuff does not cause discomfort, even if tighten a little more. The readings gives accurate, compared with mechanical. + Can work from the batteries, which gives freedom of use, regardless of the location of the sockets in the house. Remembering the testimony, which is very convenient when hiking to the doctor who needs to track the dynamics. Such a home mini doctor) Granny can greatly measure the pressure itself. He took on the Internet on the healthy, it turned out cheaper than in ordinary pharmacies, and the guarantee was given the same. In general, if you think about buying a tonometer - then take it without thinking. Will not let down.
