Table for classification of blood pressure values (unit of measurement mmHg) for adults:
Range
Hypotonia (degraded blood pressure)
Normal range
Pre-hypertensive blood pressure range*
High blood pressure - degree
High blood pressure - degree
(*) Blood pressure range that might transfer to high blood pressure.
The WHO classification in the display shows the range of the
measured blood pressure.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two dif-
ferent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the grade
range and diastolic pressure in the normal range), the WHO
classification on the unit always indicates the higher range
(grade hypertension in the example described).
5.6 Resting indicator measurement (using HSD diagnostics)
The most frequent error made when measuring blood pressure
is taking the measurement when not at rest (haemodynamic
stability), which means that both the systolic and the diastolic
blood pressures are incorrect in this case. During blood pres-
sure measurement, the device automatically determines wheth-
er the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest or not.
If there is no indication that the circulatory system is not suf-
ficiently at rest, (haemodynamic stability) is displayed and
the measurement can be recorded as a reliable resting blood
pressure value.
Systolic
lower than 105
between 105 and 120
between 120 and 140
between 140 and 160
higher than 160
: Haemodynamic stability
Measurement of the systolic and diastolic pressure is increased
when the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest and is a very
hypertension
reliable indicator of resting blood pressure. However, if the cir-
culatory system is not sufficiently at rest (haemodynamic insta-
bility), the symbol
In this case, the measurement should be repeated after a pe-
riod of physical and mental rest. The blood pressure measure-
ment must be taken when the patient is physically and mentally
rested, as it will be the basis for a diagnosis and regulation of
the patient's medical treatment.
: Lack of haemodynamic stability
It is very probable that the measurement of systolic and dias-
tolic blood pressure has not been carried out at rest and has
therefore distorted the measurement.
Repeat the measurement after a rest and relaxation period of at
least 5 minutes. Go to a sufficiently calm and comfortable spot
and remain there calmly; close your eyes, breathe deeply and
evenly and try to relax.
