| 摘要 |
Noninvasive-blood-pressure (NIBP) monitoring apparatus is disclosed which is usable to perform either oscillometric or auscultatory NIBP. The apparatus includes relatively adjustable, noninflatable, pressure-information-providing (PIP) structure usable to apply NIBP-useful pressure to such limb adjacent such vessel. Also included is pressure-changer structure associated with the PIP structure, and operable to adjust the same to a beginning NIBP-useful pressure, and to subsequent NIBP-useful pressures, with such adjustment effecting the availability of pressure information that can be sensed by such sensor structure. The apparatus is preferably constructed for oscillometric NIBP monitoring and includes a reaction band removably fittable on and circumscribingly about the limb of such living subject. The preferred construction is for portable, self-contained, ambulatory usage. Other embodiments include providing an output communicator for sending NIBP-data signals in various outputs including electrical, wireless and optical, and visually perceptible ones.
