Abstract:
The task to develop a mechanism for predicting the hemodynamic parameters values based on non-invasive hydrocuff technology of a pulse wave signal fixation is described in this study. The advantages and disadvantages of existing methods of recording the ripple curve are noted in the published materials. This study proposes a new hydrocuff method for hemodynamic parameters and blood pressure values measuring. A block diagram of the device being developed is presented. Algorithms for processing the pulse wave contour are presented. A neural network applying necessity for the multiparametric feature space formation is substantiated. The pulse wave contours obtained using hydrocuff technology of oscillation formation for various age groups are presented. According to preliminary estimates, by the moment of the dicrotic surge formation, it is possible to judge the ratio of the heart and blood vessels work, which makes it possible to form an expanded feature space of significant parameters based on neural network classifiers. This study presents the characteristics accounted for creating a database for training a neural network.

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...
