Need to check your lab answers on arterial pressure?
The first recorded attempt to measure blood pressure was made in 1733 by the Englishman, Stephen Hales. He inserted a small brass tube into the aorta of a horse. To this brass tube, he inserted a long piece of glass tubing. Hales found that the height of the column of blood that rose in the glass tube exceeded 8 feet. He also noted that when the heartbeat was, the level of the blood in the tube rose and fell several inches. In 1896, Riva-Rocci developed the modern method of blood pressure measurement
