Should Always The BP Reading End With Even Numbers?
hello sir... i am a medical student.. we are taught that the blood pressure has to be recorded with an EVEN number at the end of it since the sphigmomanometer has only even caliberated scale.. is it eally a rule?? can odd numbers be at the end while recording if we really find it while measuring?

Hi,
When we measure blood pressure manually, we can have only even numbers, as they divided by 2 mm Hg steps. But with electronic machines we can have even numbers as well.
Take care
