In humans, blood pressure is usually measured indirectly with a special cuff over the brachial artery (in the arm) or the femoral artery (in the leg). There are two pressures measured: (1) the systolic pressure (the higher pressure and the first number recorded), which is the force that...

A self applied blood pressure cuff particularly for use with ambulatory blood pressure products and suitable for use on either the left or right limbs of the patient is disclosed. The cuff includes an
An ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) is worn for 24 h. Hence, they must be lightweight and compact in size for patient comfort. The work presented in Juteau and Gosselin (2020) shows a fully wearable device directly worn on the occlusion cuff. The raw signals are transmitted to the...
which can cause overestimation of the blood pressure and discomfort for the patient. An NIBP cuff on the forearm may be used if it is not possible to use an appropriately sized blood pressure cuff on the upper arm.7 This method of NIBP measurement will provide consistent blood pressures that...
Errors in blood pressure measurement can result from failure of the cuff to reach and compress the artery. The cuff diameter should be 20 per cent greater than the diameter of the limb, the bladder of the cuff must be centered over the artery, and the cuff must be wrapped smoothly and sn...

During measurement of CBF, the left foot region was excluded by inflating a pediatric cuff placed round the ankle to levels greater than a pre-determined systolic arterial blood pressure. With the strain gauge in situ, pre-measurement trials of venous occlusion were made to establish satisfac- ...
In the testing phase, the ANN is trained on a complete dataset and tested on signals from 25 new patients that have never been seen by the structure. Figure 1. Flowchart of the proposed method in this paper for cuffless blood pressure estimation, which shows the process of BP estimation ...
An automated home blood pressure machine can be purchased for patients to use at home. Although these machines are typically easy and convenient to use, the accuracy of the measurement depends on the proper positioning of the patient and placement of the cuff. Moreover, readings can be inaccurat...
