Real-time blood pressure monitoring in physiological experiments using an Apple II microcomputer
Abstract:
The paper describes a program used for real-time blood pressure monitoring. A simple method allowing interactive control of the decision criteria is used for upstroke detection. The blood pressure signal is characterized by means of 8 parameters, computed for every cycle. The program offers two graphic modes: plotting (a) the original signal and (b) the computed variables. Other useful programs are presented together with the BP/MONITOR to allow use of the Apple II as a digital memory scope in different working modes.

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...
