Likewise mercury manometers were previously used in high school physics and chem labs to measure pressure or to demonstrate barometer function.

But now, he added, " we are faced with some places not having mercury manometers available for blood pressure measurements ."

But now, he added, " for the first time in 100 years we are faced with some places not having mercury manometers available for blood pressure measurements ."

Traditionally, blood pressure is measured non-invasively using a mercury manometer because these gauges are dependent upon only gravity, thus inherently more accurate than alternative types of pressure gauges.
5.
A fluid filled bladder placed on the wrist was able to detect pulse; the pressure, which was necessary for the disappearance of the pulses, was measured with a mercury manometer.
6.
A sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit ( the mercury manometer, or aneroid gauge ), and a mechanism for inflation which may be a manually operated bulb and valve or a pump operated electrically.
7.
In research, the values obtained by an experienced knowledgeable physician using a mercury manometer and stethoscope listening for the Korotkoff sounds are typically within 10 mmHg of the pressures measured via higher sophistication internal measurements of central aortic pressures at heart level.
8.
A much easier way to get your pressure would be to use a manometer . if you cant get hold of a mercury manometer, one could be made with a long length of garden hose with a transparent bit at the open end.
9.
As to what that's used instead of absolute, it's certainly more convenient to set up a mercury manometer for a pressure range 0 250 mmHg ( only has to be 25 cm tall ) than 750 1000 mmHg ( need a meter height and 4x as much Hg ) and probably easier to set up / fill an open-ended manometer than a closed-ended one.
