Abstract:
Through various common domestic and foreign electronic sphygmomanometers to test blood pressure, we find that when measuring high blood pressure or low blood pressure, there is a mismatch between the maximum inflation pressure and the blood pressure measurement, which often results in repeatedly inflating and deflating as well as the problem of high inflation pressure. In order to solve these problems and find a suitable maximum inflation pressure, two intelligent pneumatic solutions based on identifying of pulse wave are suggested and 700 groups of blood pressure experiments are done, then the two solutions are verified by experiments. The experiment proved that these solutions proposed have good stability and accuracy, they can solve the problems appeared in measuring blood pressure effectively, at the same time, the second solution that estimate the maximum inflation pressure during inflation is considered as the best one.

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...

Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
