Portable meters for self-monitoring of blood glucose
1Department of Medicine, National University of Singapore.
Abstract:
Patients with diabetes mellitus are now able to monitor their own blood glucose frequently and easily with the availability of simple to use portable devices that provide rapid answer regarding blood glucose levels. Many models of these self-blood glucose monitors are available, with new meters rapidly replacing the old versions. This paper will review the current devices available for self-monitoring of blood glucose and the new innovations recently introduced. It will also discuss the need for quality control and the influence of self-monitoring on glycaemic control.

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...
