ABSTRACT:
Blood pressure measurement system for accurately measuring an individual's blood pressure is designed to have a characteristic response corresponding to a typical mercury-gravity pressure manometer. The blood pressure measurement system replaces the mercury column of the standard mercury-gravity pressure manometer with electronic components. The electronic blood pressure measurement system utilizes a pressure transducer connected to a standard pressure cuff and appropriate filtering to augment the output of the pressure transducer such that its characteristic response and damping correspond to the mercury in the mercury-gravity pressure manometer. A display can be utilized to graphically or numerically represent the mercury column as well as providing other useful information. The techniques currently employed for measuring blood pressure with a mercury-gravity pressure manometer may be employed when utilizing the electronic blood pressure measurement system. A method for operating the electronic blood pressure measurement system is also disclosed.
