ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for determining the blood pressure of a patient. The method includes the steps of affixing a non-invasive pressure inducing device and transducer to the patient. A data stream is obtained from the transducer. The data stream includes pressure data and pulsation signal data. The data stream is processed to create an information stream which correlates the pressure data and the pulsation signal data. The information stream includes at least two pulse maximum points and at least one pulse minimum point. At least one of the systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures of the patient are determined by choosing a pressure determination point in the information stream between the two pulse maximum points. Additionally, an apparatus for determining blood pressure is disclosed.
