Riva-Rocci measured the systolic pressure by recording the cuff pressure at which the radial pulse was obliterated as determined by palpation. In his studies, Korotkoff used the apparatus proposed by Riva-Rocci in Italy in 1896 which contained an elastic inflatable armband around his arm, a rubber bulb to inflate the bracelet, and a mercury sphygmomanometer to measure the pressure of the cuff. This specific phenomenon, known in the world literature as"Korotkoff sounds", became the basis of the new method of measuring blood pressure. It established that certain specific sounds could be heard during the decompression of the arteries. While attempting to solve this problem, he systematically listened to arteries to estimate the potential strength of arterial collaterals after a major vessel of the injured limb had been ligated. While treating the wounded soldiers they had Aneurysms, Korotkoff set out to find clues that would allow the surgeon to predict the outcome of the ligature of the arteries of traumatized limbs, ie whether the limb would recover or die after surgery. Pirogov, in his dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences,"Can the Ligature of the abdominal aorta The aneurysm in the groin region be performed easily and safely?" Korotkoff was working to solve the problem that was first formulated as early as 1832 by one of the most respected Russian physicians, Nicolai I. It is worth noting that the idea for the new method for measuring blood pressure was born during the Russo-Japanese war. These studies resulted in his discovery of the new method of measuring blood pressure. His education and experience in treating the wounded in the battle led Korotkoff to study the damage to the main arteries. Korotkoff died in 1920 The cause of his death is unknown. Petersburg) and later became a senior physician at the Petrograd Hospital on Zagorodny Avenue. After the revolution of 1917 in Russia, he became the senior physician of the Metchnikov Hospital in Petrograd (as it was then called St. ĭuring World War I, Korotkoff worked at the military hospital in the city of Tsarskoye-Selo, Russia. Petrov, unanimously acknowledged that Korotkoff's scientific findings represented an incredibly important discovery, which revolutionized the existing field of heart disease. Oppel and Privat-Docent (equivalent to Associate Professor) N.N. The dissertation was presented in 1910 to the Scientific Council of the Imperial Military Medical Academy.
This auscultatory blood pressure measurement method was described in detail for the first time in"Experiments to Determine the Strength of Arterial Collaterals", his dissertation for the advanced scientific degree of Doctor of Medical Sciences. In 1905, Korotkoff developed a new method for measuring blood pressure. From 1908 to 1909, he worked in Siberia as a physician in the Vitemsk-Oleklinsk region of Russia. Petersburg.ĭuring the Russo-Japanese war (1904 to 1905), he was sent to Harbin, northeast China, where he worked as a doctor in different hospitals. In 1902, he completed his residency and began working in the position of assistant at the Military Medical Academy of St. During the Boxer rebellion in China in 1900, he was sent by the University to China as a Red Cross doctor. Korotkoff stayed in Moscow doing his residency in the Department of Surgery. Korotkoff was born in 1874 into a merchant family He received his high school diploma in 1893 from the Kursk Gymnasium, and in 1898 he graduated cum laude from the Moscow University Medical School with the rank of Physician (equivalent to the rank of Doctor of Medicine in the United States).
