Background: Blood pressure is one of the major problems facing society and causing death worldwide and it is management requires accurate measurement as inaccurate reading leads to problems and wrong treatment for the patient. Aim: Comparison between mercury and aneroid sphygmomanometer in among accuracy of readings. Martial and method: This comparative descriptive study facility, that included 101 samples, the data was collected statistically using an interview questionnaire to collect information using statistical model from then analysis using statistical analysis program version 20 then statistical calibrations were used such as frequency, percentage and arithmetic mean and degree of statistical significance was 0.05 and the result were presented in form tables. Results: A study was conducted in the Traghen region especially in the college of nursing, it included (101) samples whose ages ranged between (18-25) represented 52.5% years, the mercury sphygmomanometer was more accurate than aneroid sphygmomanometer, It was found that the average systolic readings of mercury sphygmomanometer were 64.3 compared to readings of an aneroid sphygmomanometer of 64.7 and the average diastolic readings of mercury was 99.9 compared to readings of an aneroid sphygmomanometer of 102.8.Conclusion: In conclusion, it is concluded that the mercury sphygmomanometer are more accurate than the aneroid sphygmomanometer and that there is a slight differences between the measurements, The researchers recommended confirming the quality of measuring devices for each patient before accept readings.
