A minimum systolic value can be roughly estimated by palpation, most often used in emergency situations, but should be used with caution. [10] It has been estimated that, using 50% percentiles, carotid, femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure > 70 mmHg, carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of > 50 mmHg, and only a ...

Riva Rocci's major contribution to medicine was the invention of an easy-to-use version of the mercury sphygmomanometer which measured brachial blood pressure. [1] [2] [5] The key element of this design was the use of a cuff that encircled the arm; previous designs had used rubber bulbs filled with water or air to manually compress the artery or other technically difficult methods to measure ...
In 1896, the Italian Scipione Riva-Rocci introduced the first mercury-sphygmomanometer placed on the upper arm. [11] It enabled the measurement of absolute systolic blood pressure . Since the finding of the characteristic sounds by the Russian Nikolai Sergejev Korotkoff in 1905, the upper arm method also allows the registration of absolute ...
