    The video discusses the global directive in 2005 to phase out mercury-based blood pressure measurement in healthcare settings due to environmental toxicity concerns. Automated blood pressure devices were preferred over manual methods as they reduce operator error related to issues like digit preference, observer bias, incorrect stethoscope placement, and incorrect interpretation of Korotkoff sounds. Automated devices also require less maintenance than aneroid devices.

    • Incorrect stethoscope placement

    • Incorrect Korotkoff sound interpretation

    - Less maintenance than aneroid
