The objective of this paper is to describe current uses of oscillometric pressure pulse waveforms and to introduce several prospective applications of the waveforms. A specialized system (Carditor) for acquisition, processing and display of waveforms is described. Carditor was used to acquire a database of oscillometric blood pressure waveforms from a wrist cuff. The following prospective metho...

Comparison of tacho-oscillographic and oscillometric methods for human blood pressure measurement with cuff occlusion in the same device at the same time is described. For this purpose the measurement system and software for signal processing that realize these methods in the same device was developed. Experiment shows that oscillometric method with photoplethysmographic (PPG) sensors does not ...

The blood pressure patterns obtained from a linearly or stepwise deflating cuff exhibit personalized traits, such as fairly uniform peak patterns and regular beat geometry; it can support the diagnosis and monitoring of hypertensive patients with reduced sensitivity to fluctuations in Blood Pressure BP over time. Monitoring of personalized trait in Oscillometric Arterial Blood Pressure Measurem...

The introduction of automated oscillometric blood pressure monitors was the basis for today's widespread use of blood pressure self-measurement. However, in atrial fibrillation, there is a controversial debate on the use of oscillometry because there is a high variability of heart rate and stroke volume. To date, the accuracy of oscillometric blood pressure monitoring in atrial fibrillation has...

BACKGROUND Rabbits are particularly sensitive to develop hypotension during sedation or anaesthesia. Values of systolic or mean non-invasive arterial blood pressure below 80 or 60 mmHg respectively are common under anaesthesia despite an ongoing surgery. A reliable method of monitoring arterial blood pressure is extremely important, although invasive technique is not always possible due to the ...

The prognostic value of central systolic blood pressure has been established recently. At present, its noninvasive assessment is limited by the need of dedicated equipment and trained operators. Moreover, ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring of central pressures are not feasible. An algorithm enabling conventional automated oscillometric blood pressure monitors to assess central systol...
