Digital Blood Pressure

Good quality health care in residential care homes is essential for the elderly residents living there, and regular checks on a person’s blood pressure is an important factor in indicating potential health issues. The use of digital blood pressure monitors makes these checks far easier than with traditional monitors. Unlike traditional monitors, these digital machines such as the Omron 907 Blood Pressure Monitor which is supplied by Care Shop don’t need to have a silent atmosphere to enable an accurate reading as it is clearly shown on the screen rather than the nurse having to listen for the pulses through a stethoscope. Another additional and useful feature of this machine is that it can also indicate when a resident has an irregular heartbeat. This can be caused by arrhythmia which can be dangerous if not treated.

Available both as a portable machine, such as the above mentioned, or a more permanent solid state one such as the TM2655P Waiting Room Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor which can be permanently situated in a medical room, these digital blood pressure monitors make life much easier for the medical staff and help to ensure the on-going health care of the residents within the care home.
