2. Compression stockings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_stockings

   Self-prescription is reasonably safe assuming that the compression gradient is 15–20 mmHg, the ABPI (for both legs) is >1.0 and that the stockings fit correctly. "Firm" gradient stockings (20–30 mmHg and 30–40 mmHg) should generally be worn only on medical advice.

3. Compression garment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_garment

   In medical contexts, compression garments provide support for people who have to stand for long periods or have poor circulation. These come in varying degrees of compression, and higher degree compression sleeves, such as sleeves that provide compression of 20–30 mmHg or higher, typically require a doctor's prescription. [1]

4. Millimetre of mercury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimetre_of_mercury

   The millimetre of mercury is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimetre high with a density of 13 595.1 kg/m 3 (approximate density at 0 °C or 32 °F) at standard gravity (9.806 65 m/s 2), i.e. precisely 133.322 387 415 pascals. 1 mmHg = 1 mm × 13 595.1 kg/m 3 × 9.806 65 m/s 2 = 133.322 387 415 Pa (exactly)

5. Vascular resistance - Wikipedia

   As an example: if systolic blood pressure = 120 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure = 80 mmHg, right atrial mean pressure = 3 mmHg and cardiac output = 5 L/min, Then mean arterial pressure = 2 x diastolic pressure + systolic pressure/3 = 93.3 mmHg, and SVR = (93 - 3) / 5 = 18 Wood units, or equivalently 1440 dyn·s/cm 5.

   A patient in front of a tonometer. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the fluid pressure inside the eye. Tonometry is the method eye care professionals use to determine this. IOP is an important aspect in the evaluation of patients at risk of glaucoma. [1]
