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

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
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...

The measurement of blood pressure by oscillometry was first described by Marey in 1876, and Ramsey reported the use of an automated instrument based on the oscillometric technique (Dinamap, Critikon, Tampa, FL) in 1979.8,23This device is able to measure cuff oscillations at given pressures as...
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...
The BP cuff was to be placed around the bare arm, which was supported or allowed to rest on a solid surface so the inner aspect of the bend of the elbow would be level with the heart. The nursing staff was given detailed instructions regarding placement of the cuff and performance of ...
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...
