[Development of a portable ECG and blood pressure monitor based on personal digital assistant (PDA)]
Objective:
To develop a portable multifunctional electrocardiograph (ECG) and blood pressure monitor with its convenience to use.
Method:
It consisted of the electrocardiograph and blood pressure monitor module, microprocessor module and a personal digital assistant (PDA), to implement the functions of ECG/blood pressure signal automatic monitoring and remote data transferring to the hospital.
Result:
Under the control of the microprocessor, the monitor module can achieve the ECG signal, the blood pressure signal and transmit the data to the PDA. The program runs in PDA, integrating the capabilities of data waveform browsing and remote data transfering.
Conclusion:
The monitor meets the design requirements and has a good future for application.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
