Non-invasive systems and techniques can be used to accurately measure blood pressures of patients being supported by continuous flow left ventricular assist devices. For example, this document describes cuff occlusion devices and methods for their use so that the blood pressure and pulsatility of ...
ABC of hypertension: blood pressure measurement: Part I-sphygmomanometry: factors common to all techniques. BMJ 2001; 322: 981-5.Beevers G, Lip GYH , O'Brien E. ABC of hypertension, Blood pressure measurement , part 1- sphygmomanometry: factors common to all techniques, clinical review. ...
This section will describe the current techniques and devices for the measurement of blood pressure (BP) in the office setting. The primary focus will be on electronic, oscillometric sphygmomanometers which are becoming the standard for BP measurement in clinical practice. The reasons for the ...
Blood pressure measurementis an essential part of monitoring during anaesthesia. The method chosen should be appropriate to the individual patient and current clinical situation, taking into account the benefits and limitations of each device. The gold standard for the continuousarterial blood pressuremoni...
Current hypertension guidelines recommend using the average values of several blood pressure (BP) readings obtained both in and out of the office for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. In-office BP measurement using an upper-arm cuff constitut
An appreciation in the 18th century that blood in the arterial system is under considerable pressure was cited at the beginning of the previous chapter. In the subsequent two centuries techniques emerged for both the direct and indirect measurement of arterial blood pressure. Today, there is a con...
Clinical evaluation and comparison of the Infrasonde, Arteriosonde, and mercury sphygmomanometer in measurement of blood pressure in children. Both systolic and diastolic pressures can be measured in children with the mercury sphygmomanometer, the Arteriosonde and the Infrasonde. Estimates made bl......
Arterial blood pressure is an important physiological indicator to determine the health status of the human cardiovascular system, and it also plays an important role in the analysis and identification of the pulse wave signal [1], [2]. Recently, noninvasive blood pressure measurement techniques hav...
The measurement of blood pressure goes back almost three centuries, leading to the procedure that we all know and that our family doctor performs when we have checkups: A cuff (袖口) goes around our arm, which is first inflated (膨胀), and then deflated (放气), in a controlled manner, ...
With just one or two simple errors in measurement techniques, a patient could suddenly find himself classified as having high blood pressure, said Dr. Raymond Townsend, a nephrologist. "Suddenly, they have a disease that they didn't have yesterday," said Townsend, director of the hypertension ...
