Sphygmomanometry measures arterial blood pressure using an inflatable cuff. The appearance and disappearance of Korotkoff sounds during controlled cuff deflation identify pressure endpoints in the auscultatory method. Audiometry tests hearing, spirometry tests lung ventilation, and tonometry measures pressure in other contexts. Thus A.
