Measurement of Arterial Blood Pressure by Analyzing the Pulse Wave Transit Time at a Selected Peripheral Point

Abstract

Arterial blood pressure is one of the most important vital parameters of warm-blooded organisms, which is connected directly to their existence. This paper presents a method and apparatus for continuous blood pressure monitoring in extreme conditions by measuring pulse wave transit time. An approach is developed to determine the individual coefficients of the subject, allowing for the calculation of systolic and diastolic arterial pressures.
