Blood Pressure Monitoring – Automated Non-invasive Blood Pressure Monitors

Accuracy of automated blood pressure monitors.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to determine if automated and aneroid manometers are as accurate a means of determining blood pressure as the mercury manometer. Obtaining vital signs for patients is considered standard of care, yet many dental offices do not routinely perform this health service because of technique inconsistencies and time constraints. The use of automatic blood pressure ...

Non Invasive Blood Pressure

Alongside heart rate, Blood Pressure is one of the physiological parameters which has been measured by clinicians for the longest period of time: it was known to be important in the 16 century. It remains one of the most important physiological indicators to date and is also one of the more awkward parameters to measure. As has been discussed, blood is pumped round the body by the heart. The bl...

Techniques for Non-Invasive Monitoring of Arterial Blood Pressure

Since both, hypotension and hypertension, can potentially impair the function of vital organs such as heart, brain, or kidneys, monitoring of arterial blood pressure (BP) is a mainstay of hemodynamic monitoring in acutely or critically ill patients. Arterial BP can either be obtained invasively via an arterial catheter or non-invasively. Non-invasive BP measurement provides either intermittent ...

Adaptive Non-invasive Blood Pressure Measurement

In this paper oscillometric method is used to develop an adaptive non-invasive blood pressure measurement system. To overcome the drawback of conventional oscillometric method an algorithm is developed. During the time of deflation and inflation process the step size of pressure pumped and released using pump and valve respectively is varied adaptively by continuously monitoring the feedback wh...
