Recently, a new device based on an oscillometric method has been developed for the measurement of brachial artery cross-sectional area, which is virtually identical to the diameter. This measurement ...

The use of automated oscillometric ABI systems has not been studied extensively in a population with known atherosclerosis. 16 Similarly, such data are limited in populations with very high ...

Adv Neonatal Care. 2005;5(5):252-261. Although many types of monitors use the same basic technique, the integration of the oscillometric method within an NIBP algorithm may differ substantially ...

Arterial stiffness due to is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease but is very difficult to measure. A new method for measuring arterial stiffness has been developed. This simple, non-invasive ...

EDN 's recent editorial misses the actual difference between analog and digital blood-pressure devices (see “Digital doesn’t always mean better,” by John Dodge, March 3, 2005). This is quite ...

For over 100 years, the dominant method of blood pressure measurement in the clinic was the use of a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer. The “gold standard” mercury-filled sphygmomanometer was so ...

This tutorial discusses the factors to consider in designing a sphygmomanometer or commonly known as the blood pressure monitor. This article presents the two main types of automatic blood pressure ...

Adv Neonatal Care. 2005;5(5):252-261. In another study of VLBW neonates (<1500 g) over a wide range of BP values, there was a good correlation of NIBP to IABP. [34] When only comparisons from the ...
