The document discusses oscillometric blood pressure monitoring. It begins by defining blood pressure and describing the systolic and diastolic measurements. It then explains that oscillometry works by sensing pressure oscillations in the arm as blood flow resumes after inflation. The system uses a pressure sensor, amplifier, ADC, filter, microcontroller and other components. Key advantages are ease of use, memory functions, data storage and a long battery life. Precautions for use are also noted.

Introduction 3
What is Blood Pressure ?
It is defined as the average arterial
pressure (exerted by blood against the arterial walls ) during a single cardiac cycle.

Introduction 4
Systolic - pressure during ventricular contraction (systole) as the heart pumps blood into the aorta. It is the higher of the two pressure measurements.
Diastolic - after systole, the ventricles relax (diastole), arterial pressure declines and the heart refills with blood, the lowest pressure reached during ventricular relaxation represents the diastolic blood pressure.

Example
120 - Systolic Pressure
80 - Diastolic Pressure
Why do we measure Blood Pressure ?
- because small changes in the pressure readings over a period of time can give us clues about the cardiovascular and respiratory health of the patient.

Techniques 7
Invasive
direct measurement of arterial pressure by placing a
cannula needle in an artery, to monitor the blood pressure real-time (rather than by intermittent measurement)
Non-invasive
Auscultatory method - using stethoscope and
sphygmomanometer
Oscillometric method

Principle 8
What is Oscillometry ? Finding the blood pressure by sensing the magnitude of oscillations caused by the blood as it begins to flow again into the arm.
- The cuff is inflated above the systolic pressure to
occlude the arm. During deflation, a sensor in the monitor detects air pressure changes that correspond to arterial volume changes. Based on the oscillations, the systolic and diastolic pressures are calculated.
