ABSTRACT:
An apparatus that detects both the blood pressure and the electrocardiographic waveform of a living subject and that can be quickly and easily fitted to the living subject includes a cuff that is wrapped around a portion of the living subject for detecting the subject's blood pressure, and a flexible electrocardio electrode on the inner surface of the cuff for detecting the electrocardiographic waveform generated by the living subject's cardiac muscle. When the cuff is wrapped around a portion of the living subject, the electrocardiographic electrode is automatically fitted and correctly positioned on the living subject. Because the electrocardio electrode does not have to be separately fitted and attached to the living subject, the "set up" time is significantly reduced. Thus, the apparatus of this invention is especially useful in emergency medical situations, where rapid measurements are required.
