From Mercury to Digital: Various Types of Barometers for Measurement » Barometers measure atmospheric pressure but the types of barometers, such as mercury, aneroid, MEMs and precision digital, can vary based on application. Blog.mensor.com

Pulmonary vascular resistance index: Getting the units right and why it matters » Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and PVR index (PVRI) are key variables in a broad range of contexts, including prediction of outcomes in heart and liver transplantation, determining candidacy for closure of atrial or ventricular septal defects, and… Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Determination of vascular waterfall phenomenon by bedside measurement of mean systemic filling pressure and critical closing pressure in the intensive care unit - PubMed » Vascular pressure gradients in cardiac surgery patients suggest the presence of a vascular waterfall phenomenon, which is not affected by CO. Thus, measures of total systemic vascular resistance may become irrelevant in assessing systemic vasomotor tone. Pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
