A BP set (Blood Pressure Set) is a medical device used to measure blood pressure. It typically includes a sphygmomanometer (manual or digital) and a stethoscope (for manual readings). Here are its main uses:
1. Monitoring Blood Pressure
- Helps measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
- Detects hypertension (high BP) or hypotension (low BP).
2. Diagnosing Health Conditions
- Identifies risks of heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, and diabetes.
- Helps doctors monitor and adjust treatments for BP-related conditions.
3. Assessing Effectiveness of Medications
- Used by doctors to check if BP medications are working properly.
- Helps track improvements or necessary adjustments in treatment.
4. Routine Health Checkups
- Used in hospitals, clinics, and at home for regular BP monitoring.
- Essential for pregnant women, elderly individuals, and patients with chronic diseases.
5. Pre-Surgical & Emergency Assessments
- BP is checked before surgeries to ensure patient safety.
- Used in emergencies to detect shock, dehydration, or internal bleeding.
