ABSTRACT:
A method and assembly oscillometrically measures systolic, mean and diastolic blood pressures by inflating a form fitting cuff disposed over the Palmar Arch of the hand, and subsequently deflating the cuff stepwise, The arterial blood supply to the hand, which is very rich, lies relatively close to the surface of the palm. Cuff pressure oscillations can be sensed with an inflatable glove or mitten type cuff. A full or partial glove, mitten, or the like, with openings for reception of portions of the fingers and thumb can be used. Inflation of the cuff allows the assembly to be used to measure arterial blood pressure on either hand of a patient.
