ABSTRACT:
A system and method for measuring and recording intra-arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressures. The system encompasses a variable diameter sleeve which encompasses the patient's arm, and is adapted to be inflated to produce a predetermined maximum compression pressure and to decompress at a predetermined decompression rate. A telephone communication system is provided which is accessible by the patient whose blood pressure is to be detected. A stethoscope is connected to a pulse sensing device and to the telephone. A prerecorded voice count down device generates audible pressure readings beginning at the maximum compression pressure and decreasing at the predetermined decompression rate. The count down is in human understandable form and the device is operably connected to the telephone communication system. Since the prerecorded count down device counts down at the same rate as the decompression rate of the inflated sleeve, the actual systolic and diastolic blood pressure values can be easily determined.
