The two types of sphygmomanometers are a mercury column and a gauge with a dial face. The sphygmomanometer in most frequent use today consists of a gauge attached to a rubber cuff which is wrapped around the upper arm and is inflated to constrict the arteries. 4, record 2, English, - sphygmomanometer

According to some sources, the terms "sphygmanometer", "sphygmometer" and "hemomanometer" are synonyms. In fact, these are three different instruments: a sphygmanometer measures arterial blood pressure; a sphygmometer or sphygmograph measures the strength and frequency of the pulse beat; an hemomanometer or hemodynamometer is an instrument by which the pressure of the blood in the arteries, or veins, is measured by the height to which it will raise a column of mercury. 6, record 2, English, - sphygmomanometer

Il ne faut pas confondre le terme sphygmomanomètre avec le terme sphygmographe qui désigne un instrument servant à enregistrer le pouls artériel. Le sphygmomanomètre diffère également de l'hémomanomètre ou hémodynamomètre, manomètre permettant la mesure de la pression sanguine intravasculaire. 4, record 2, French, - sphygmomanom%C3%A8tre
