Question

I dont have any data so just try to answer the first one to the best of your ability! Give clear explainations please! And thank you in advance

1. Does the time of the first audible Korotkoff sound, as indicated by the first blank comment in your recording, correspond with the first appearance of blood flow? Explain. 2. Since you are looking for the first appearance of blood flow, would slowing the rate of pressure release from the cuff make your readings more accurate? What problems might be caused by slowing pressure release?

Explanation / Answer

Korotkoff sounds reprasenting the sound heard during measurement of blood pressure are not the same as the heart sounds lub and dub are due to vibration inside the ventricles that are associated with snapping shut of the valves. It may reprasent the first heart sound i.e diastolic pressure on heart corresponds with the first appearance of blood flow in heart.
