Oscillometric determination of diastolic, mean and systolic blood pressure—A numerical model

Forster, F. K., Turney, D.·1986·Journal of Biomechanical Engineering

Abstract

A theoretical model of oscillometric blood pressure measurement is presented. Particular emphasis is paid to the collapse behavior of the artery, and an exponential volume-pressure curve is used. The results of this study suggest that mean blood pressure can be accurately predicted from the peak of the oscillometric curve if corrections related to the cuff pressure waveform are applied. It is also shown, however, that systolic and diastolic pressure may not in general be accurately determined from fixed amplitude ratios based on the oscillometric peak due to the sensitivity of the method to variations in blood pressure waveform, pulse pressure, and arterial compliance. No simple procedures are found to correct for these effects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
