Design and Evaluation of a Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System for Pressure Ulcer Prevention
Introduction Pressure ulcers are tissue damages resulting from blood flow restriction, which occurs when the tissue is exposed to high pressure for a long period of time. These painful sores are common in patients and elderly, who spend extended periods of time in bed or wheelchair. In this study, a continuous pressure and temperature monitoring system was developed for pressure ulcer preventio...
متن کاملDesigning and Constructing Blood Flow Monitoring System to Predict Pressure Ulcers on Heel
Background: A pressure ulcer is a complication related to the need for the care and treatment of primarily disabled and elderly people. With the decrease of the blood flow caused by the pressure loaded, ulcers are formed and the tissue will be wasted with the passage of time.Objective the aim of this study was to construct blood flow monitoring system on the heel tissue which was under external...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring in the evaluation of drug efficacy.
Conventional clinic measurement of blood pressure is influenced by many factors that make the technique unsuitable for the assessment of antihypertensive drug efficacy. The major drawback of conventional measurement is that it cannot indicate the duration of drug effect or the influence of antihypertensive drugs on nocturnal blood pressure. Noninvasive 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurem...
متن کاملNighttime activity influences the evaluation of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Nighttime Activity Influences the Evaluation of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Agarwal et al1 in which the authors concluded that nocturia among nighttime physically active patients is associated with nondipping blood pressure pattern in mostly elderly patients with chronic kidney disease. There are several factors that make the re...
متن کاملEvaluation of tolerance to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a helpful tool to comprehensively identify and diagnose arterial hypertension. Moreover, it allows to better identify alterations in the circadian BP profile, as the nocturnal "nondipping" status, characterized by a lack of the physiological 10% night BP reduction and associated with a greater risk of target organ damage. However, ABPM has some lim...
