1. An electronic manometer assembly for use in monitoring pressure at a site in the body of a patient comprising:

  • a numerical read-out unit having a size adapted to be conveniently held in the palm of the hand of a user, said numerical read-out unit having an output passage therein;

    manually digitally operable pump means contained in said numerical read-out unit in fluid communication with said output passage for generating a pressure head;

    delivery means in fluid communication with said output passage and adapted for insertion in a patient for delivering said pressure head from said output passage to said site in said patient said delivery means terminating in an enclosed, inflatable cuff;

    electronic pressure transducer means in said numerical read-out unit in fluid communication with said output passage for generating an electrical signal corresponding to the pressure in said cuff of said delivery means;

    electronic display means in said numerical read-out unit electrically connected to said transducer means for visually displaying a number corresponding to said electrical signal and thus to said pressure in said cuff of said delivery means; and

    power supply means contained within said numerical read-out unit and electronically connected to said electronic pressure transducer means and to said electronic display means for supplying electrical power thereto.
