AUTOMATED BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A non-invasive blood pressure measurement system is disclosed. The system can include a processing unit, a non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) sensor, a first altitude sensor and a second altitude sensor. The NIBP sensor can be configured to transmit a blood pressure signal to the processing unit. The first and second altitude sensors can be configured to generate and transmit first and second height measurements, respectively. The processing unit can be configured to generate an adjusted blood pressure measurement using the first height measurement, which can be the height of a patient's heart, and the second height measurement, which can be the height of the NIBP sensor. Methods for determining the blood pressure of a patient using the system are also disclosed.
