| blood pressure monitoring, ambulatory | Method in which prolonged blood pressure readings are made while the patient undergoes normal daily activities. It allows quantitative analysis of the high blood pressure load over time, can help distinguish between types of hypertension, and can assess the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy. (12 Dec 1998) |

| blood pressure monitors | Devices for continuously measuring and displaying the arterial blood pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vapor pressure | The partial pressure exerted by the vapor phase of a liquid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gauge pressure | Pressure measured relative to ambient atmospheric pressure; at sea level, it is 1 atm less than the pressure in the atmosphere. Compare: absolute pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous pressure | The blood pressure in a vein. It is usually measured to assess the filling pressure to the ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventilators, negative-pressure | Body ventilators that assist ventilation by applying intermittent subatmospheric pressure around the thorax, abdomen, or airway and periodically expand the chest wall and inflate the lungs. They are relatively simple to operate and do not require tracheostomy. These devices include the tank ventilators ("iron lung"), portalung, pneumowrap, and chest cuirass ("tortoise shell"). (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular filling pressure | The pressure in the ventricle as it fills with blood, ordinarily equivalent to the mean atrial pressure when there is no A-V valvular gradient. Atrial pressure can be used in place of transmural pressure because pericardial pressure usually varies between -2 and +2 mm Hg and hence is negligible. During cardiac tamponade, pericardial and atrial pressures equilibrate so that transmural pressure is zero and the high atrial presures cannot be "filling" pressures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular pressure | The pressure within a cardiac ventricle. Ventricular pressure waveforms can be measured in the beating heart by catheterization or estimated using imaging techniques (e.g., doppler echocardiography). The information is useful in evaluating the function of the myocardium, cardiac valves, and pericardium, particularly with simultaneous measurement of other (e.g., aortic or atrial) pressures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| partial pressure | The pressure exerted by a single component of a mixture of gases, commonly expressed in mm Hg or torr; for a gas dissolved in a liquid, the partial pressure is that of a gas that would be in equilibrium with the dissolved gas. Formerly, symbolised by p, followed by the chemical symbol in capital letters (e.g., pCO2, pO2); now, in respiratory physiology, P, followed by subscripts denoting location and/or chemical species (e.g., PCO2, PO2, PaCO2). (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean arterial pressure | <cardiology, physiology> The average value for arterial pressure. Systolic pressure + diastolic pressure divided by 2. (27 Sep 1997) |
| central venous pressure | The venous pressure as measured at the right atrium, done by means of a catheter introduced through the median cubital vein to the superior vena cava, the distal end of the catheter being attached to a manometer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrospinal fluid pressure | Manometric pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid as measured by lumbar, cerebroventricular, or cisternal puncture. Within the cranial cavity it is called intracranial pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebrospinal pressure | The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid, normally 100 to 150 mm of water, relative to the ambient atmospheric pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromatography, high pressure liquid | Liquid chromatographic techniques which feature high inlet pressures, high sensitivity, and high speed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| root pressure | <botany> Pressure in the roots which, when the shoot is cut off, will cause liquid to ooze from the root stump, the mechanisms and tissues involved in this process are not clearly understood. (09 Oct 1997) |

| hydrostatic pressure |
Another name for head or pressure under static conditions, ie. with no flow of water or gas. The other type of pressure is "dynamic" ie. measured when water or gas is measured while flowing.

| hydrostatic pressure |
The pressure which is exerted on a portion of a column of fluid as a result of the weight of the fluid above it.

| hydrostatic pressure |
Fluid pressure is exerted equally on all surface areas of an immersed body at rest at a given depth. Water exerts a force on the body even when it is stationary. The pressure of the water helps the heart circulate blood by aiding venous return blood flow back to the heart. This assistance to the heart accounts for lower blood pressure and heart rates during deep water exercise versus similar exertions on land. ...
