Cuff-Less and Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring: A Methodological Review

Cuff-Less and Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring: A Methodological Review

Blood pressure (BP) is one of the most important monitoring parameters in clinical medicine. For years, the cuff-based sphygmomanometer and the arterial invasive line have been the gold standards for care professionals to assess BP. During the past few decades, the wide spread of the oscillometry-based BP arm or wrist cuffs have made home-based BP assessment more convenient and accessible. Howe...

Cuff - less Continuous Monitoring of Beat - To - Beat Blood Pressure Using A Kalman Filter and Sensor Fusion

Cuff inflation during ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and heart rate

INTRODUCTION Twenty four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a clinically validated procedure in evaluation of blood pressure (BP). We hypothesised that the discomfort during cuff inflation would increase the heart rate (HR) measured with 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring compared to a following HR measurement with a 24-h Holter monitor. METHODS The study population (n = 56) were recruit...

Continuous and less invasive central hemodynamic monitoring by blood pressure waveform analysis.

Blood pressure waveform analysis may permit continuous (i.e., automated) and less invasive (i.e., safer and simpler) central hemodynamic monitoring in the intensive care unit and other clinical settings without requiring any instrumentation beyond what is already in use or available. This practical approach has been a topic of intense investigation for decades and may garner even more interest ...

Virtual Cuff: Multisensory Non-Intrusive Blood Pressure Monitoring

A key challenge in wearable health systems is obtaining continuous blood pressure (BP) information, bypassing intermittent and intrusive cuff inflation. In this paper, we explore the fusion of heterogeneous sensors, notably electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and photoplethysmogram (PPG) pulse oximeter readings, along with activity and location information, for blood pressure information classifica...
