A NOVEL NON-INVASIVE CUFF-LESS OPTOELECTRONIC SENSOR TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE

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...

Non Invasive Blood Pressure

Alongside heart rate, Blood Pressure is one of the physiological parameters which has been measured by clinicians for the longest period of time: it was known to be important in the 16 century. It remains one of the most important physiological indicators to date and is also one of the more awkward parameters to measure. As has been discussed, blood is pumped round the body by the heart. The bl...

Do SpaceLabs ambulatory non-invasive blood pressure recorders measure blood pressure consistently over several years use?

OBJECTIVE To assess the measurement consistency of SpaceLabs ambulatory recorders (Spacelabs, Washington, USA) that are in regular use. METHODS A total of 14 SpaceLabs 90207 and one 90217 ambulatory recorders were tested for measurement consistency using the Dynatech CuffLink (Dynatech, Nevada, USA), a commercially available non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) simulator. The NIBP recorders wer...

Non-invasive blood pressure cuff induced lower extremity wound in a diabetic patient.

Corresponding Author: Günalp Uzun, MD; e-mail: [email protected] 707 Dear Editor, A 68-year-old male patient, with type 2 diabetes mellitus of 38 years’ duration was referred to our Department with a large chronic wound (7 × 5 cm) on his left leg (Figure 1). The wound occurred two months ago during hospitalization. On examination, bilateral pedal pulses were absent. A lower extremity Doppler...
