摘要:
An apparatus for measuring an inferior-and-superior-limb blood-pressure index of a patient, including an inferior-limb blood-pressure measuring device, a superior-limb blood-pressure measuring device, an index determining device for determining the inferior-and-superior-limb blood-pressure index, based on a blood pressure of an inferior limb measured by the inferior-limb blood-pressure measuring device and a blood pressure of a superior limb measured by the superior-limb blood-pressure measuring device, an inferior-limb-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related-information, obtaining device which obtains inferior-limb-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information, an upper-half-body-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related-information obtaining device which obtains upper-half-body-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information, and an evaluation-information obtaining device for obtaining, based on the inferior-limb-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information and the upper-half-body-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information, evaluation information that is related to evaluation of reliability of the inferior-and superior-limb blood-pressure index.
摘要:
An apparatus for measuring a blood pressure of a living subject, including an inflatable cuff which has an inside surface adapted to contact a body surface of the subject and an outside surface exposed to an ambient air, and which is adapted to be wound around a portion of the subject to press the portion of the subject, a temperature sensor which is provided in the inside surface of the cuff and detects, in a state in which the cuff is wound around the portion of the subject, a temperature of the portion of the subject, and a display device which displays the temperature of the portion of the subject detected by the first temperature sensor.
摘要:
An apparatus for obtaining an information relating to a propagation velocity of a pulse wave which propagates through an artery of a living subject, including: a first signal detecting device which is adapted to be worn on a first portion of the subject and which detects a first signal generated from the first portion in synchronism with a heart beat of the subject; a pulse-wave detecting device which is adapted to be worn on a second portion of the subject and which detects, as a second signal, a notch of the pulse wave generated from the second portion in synchronism with the heart beat of the subject; a pressing device which is adapted to be worn on a third portion of the subject to press the third portion, the third portion being on a downstream side relative to the second portion with respect to the artery and being in proximity to the second portion; and pulse-wave propagation time determining means for determining, as the information, a time difference between a time when the first signal is detected by the first signal detecting device and a time when the notch of the pulse wave is detected by the pulse-wave detecting device in a state in which the third portion is pressed by the pressing device.
