Excerpt from Maryland Medical Journal, Vol. 46: A Journal of Medicine and Surgery; December 31, 1902-December 31, 1903
Thanks to the introduction of the riva-rocci instrument into use at the Johns Hopkins Hospital a year ago by Dr. Harvey Cushing, we have had the opportunity during the past year to make an ex tended series Of blood-pressure measurements on surgical and medical cases in great number and variety, and have been con vinced of the practical qualities of the riva-rocci instrument, and Of the great value of the results obtained by its use. Certain modi fications of the construction and connections of the mercury man ometer having suggested themselves as advisable, an attempt was made to devise an instrument of the greatest possible compactness, and with the smallest number of parts to be broken or deranged. Eimer Amend of New York have succeeded in making for us, and have placed on the market, an instrument which will be more fully described elsewhere and which seems to fulfill all the require ments in a satisfactory way. The ideal apparatus would have no mercury, but merely a small aneroid manometer; but such instru ments have proven in practice to be very unreliable.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book crafts a comprehensive analysis of the value of blood pressure estimates in clinical practice, emphasizing its usefulness as an adjunct to traditional diagnostic methods such as palpation of the pulse. The authors meticulously explore the history and evolution of blood pressure measurement devices, beginning with the sphygmomanometer invented by von Basch in 1880 and tracing its development to the present day. They discuss the Riva-Rocci sphygmomanometer as the most suitable instrument for general use due to its accuracy and ease of application. The book highlights the importance of blood pressure measurement in diagnosing and managing a wide range of medical conditions and diseases. It underscores the significance of elevated blood pressure in conditions such as increased intracranial pressure and hemorrhage, providing a valuable tool for prompt diagnosis and intervention. Moreover, the book emphasizes the role of blood pressure readings in assessing the condition of surgical patients during operations, enabling surgeons to anticipate and avoid profound states of shock and collapse. Additionally, the authors explore the relationship between arterial tension and nephritis, offering valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The book concludes by highlighting the significance of accurate blood pressure estimates in optimizing patient care and provides guidance on the practical implementation of blood pressure measurement in clinical settings.
