Types of Blood Pressure Monitors 
 
With the rising number of high blood pressure patients in the world, it has become increasingly 
important to keep a blood pressure monitor handy. A blood pressure monitor can help you keep a tab 
on your blood pressure count thereby averting any medical emergency. The working of a blood pressure 
monitor is pretty simple. You are made to wear a cuff on your upper arm and the cuff temporarily cuts 
off the blood flow in your brachial artery and gently releases it back. When the blood starts flowing 
intermittently, it is known as the systolic pressure and when the flow becomes steady, it is termed as 
diastolic flow.  
But have you wondered what the different types of blood pressure monitors available are? Here is a 
lowdown of the same: 
1. Aneroid pressure monitor:  You must have seen this kind of monitor with doctors. It is the manual 
kind and only a medical practitioner can help you with the readings. 
2. Digital blood pressure monitor:  These electronic blood pressure monitors have made taking blood 
pressure readings much easier and you can keep one at home. Not just easy to use, but they also give 
pretty accurate results as well. 
3. Finger blood pressure monitor:  This is ideal for people who need to keep a regular tab on their 
fluctuating blood pressure. You just need to place your index finger in the finger cuff and take your 
reading.  
4. Paediatric blood pressure monitor:  Used for young kids these monitors have an LCD screen display 
for your ease.
