Abstract:
Techniques for determining different parameters associated with an individual's blood pressure in a non-invasive manner. These techniques include generating a blood pressure waveform corresponding to the individual's actual waveform (20) whereby the mean blood pressure of the individual can be readily calculated.
Abstract:
A specific technique for determining an individual's systolic blood pressure, utilizing the individual's diastolic blood pressure, the patient's arterial curve or amplitude curve (12), and different assumed systolic pressures for making comparisons between certain assumed curves (52, 54) and a reference curve (40) in order to establish which of the assumed systolic pressures accurately reflects the individual's actual systolic pressure.
Abstract:
Techniques for determining different parameters associated with an individual's blood pressure in a non-invasive manner. These techniques include generating a blood pressure waveform (16') corresponding to the individual's actual waveform whereby the mean blood pressure of the individual can be readily calculated. This is accomplished by either using a specifically selected cuff pressure (10m') or by ramping the cuff pressure as would be done in taking blood pressure.
Abstract:
A technique for generating certain arterial blood pressure related curves V/P and dV/dP (42, 43) of a given individual using cuff pressure peak to peak values (curve 40). This is accomplished using only these latter values and the individuals diastolic and systolic blood pressures.
