Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the degree of certainty of blood pressure measurement to a large extent by arranging and using both a blood pressure deciding means of photoelectric pulse wave capacity vibration method and that of oscillometric method, and adopting the result of blood pressure measurement by the secondary means if blood pressure measurement by the primary means fails. CONSTITUTION:When a value of blood pressure obtained by a first blood pressure deciding means is judged to be accurate, judgement is YES and the blood pressure value is adopted and indicated on a display 13. When no accurate photoelectric pulse wave can be detected by reason of the influence of disturbing light on photoelectric pulse wave, the out-of-the-way position of a photoelectric sensor, and the like, and the result of measurement is judged to be inaccurate, i.e., failure in deciding blood pressure, then judgement is NO and the result of measurement is not adopted and the process of deciding blood pressure is executed in accordance with the information on pressure pulse wave detected by a second blood pressure deciding means; i.e., an algorithm is applied to the information on the detected pressure pulse wave so as to calculate the value of blood pressure.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional finger electronic blood pressure monitors can be broadly classified into so-called photoplethysmography-based blood pressure monitors and so-called oscillometric-type blood pressure monitors based on the blood pressure determination method. A photoplethysmographic volumetric oscillator blood pressure monitor has a cuff equipped with a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element for detecting pulse waves.The light-emitting element emits light into the arteries and receives the light reflected by the blood flow. The device measures blood pressure by receiving light. The amount of light irradiated onto an artery by a light emitting element such as an LED changes depending on the amount of blood flow within the artery. This change is detected as a pulse wave by a light receiving element such as a phototransistor. Then, an algorithm is applied to the detected pulse wave (pulse wave amplitude) to calculate the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value.

This method uses a pressure sensor installed in the air system connected to the cuff to detect fluctuations in air pressure within the cuff, which vibrate due to vibrations in the arterial wall, as pulse waves. The arterial wall compressed by the cuff vibrates in response to the pulsations. This vibration amplitude changes depending on the amount of compression. This vibration then causes the air pressure within the cuff to vibrate through the cuff. This vibration of air pressure within the cuff is detected as a pulse wave. An algorithm is applied to the detected pulse wave (pulse wave amplitude) to calculate the systolic blood pressure value and diastolic blood pressure value.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional electronic blood pressure monitors using the photoplethysmographic volumetric vibration method detect pulse waves based on the amount of light reflected by arteries (photoplethysmography), so they are susceptible to external disturbances. Measurement results are easily affected by light, etc. In addition, there is a limit to the amount of reflection depending on the color of the finger (skin) of the person to be measured, and accurate blood pressure measurement may not be possible if the photoelectric sensor (emitting/receiving element) is misaligned. There is a disadvantage. On the other hand, oscillometric electronic blood pressure monitors detect vibrations in the air pressure inside the cuff as pulse waves (pressure pulse waves), so while they do not have the drawbacks of the photoplethysmographic volume vibration method, they do not have the disadvantages of detecting body movements. This may cause noise in the air pressure inside the cuff, which not only has the disadvantage of not being able to obtain accurate measurement results, but also has the disadvantage that it may be difficult to detect micropulse waves depending on the subject. there were.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing specific processing operations of the digital finger blood pressure monitor according to the embodiment. When the power switch 15 of the power supply circuit 14 is turned on, preparation processing for blood pressure measurement is performed [Step (hereinafter referred to as ST) 1]. ST2
Now, it is determined whether the power switch 15 has been turned on again. If the person to be measured turns on the power switch 15 for reasons such as stopping measurement, the determination in ST2 becomes YES and the power is turned off. However, when measuring blood pressure, the power switch is not pressed, so the determination in ST2 becomes NO and the process proceeds to the next ST3. In ST3, the pressure switch is set to O.
It is determined whether it is N or not. In other words, measurement start switch 1
It is determined whether or not 6 is turned on. When the measurement start switch 16 is pressed, the pressurizing pump 2 is driven to pressurize the cuff 1 (ST4). Then, when the cuff 1 is pressurized to the target pressurization value and the finger artery is blocked, the pressurization is stopped and the cuff 1 is evacuated at a slow speed. During this cuff slow evacuation process, a pulse wave is detected by the first blood pressure determination means (photoplethysmogram method) and the second blood pressure determination means (pressure pulse wave method). That is, in the first blood pressure determination means, light is irradiated onto the artery by the light emitting element 1a, and the reflected light reflected by the blood flow is received by the light receiving element 1b. The amount of reflection) is detected as a pulse wave, and the MPU
5 takes it in (ST5). At the same time, in the second blood pressure determining means, the pressure sensor 9 detects a pressure pulse wave. In other words, the air pressure inside the cuff 1, that is, the vibration amplitude that changes depending on the amount of compression (the air pressure inside the cuff at which the vibration of the artery wall corresponding to the pulsation vibrates through the cuff) is detected as a pulse wave, and the MPU 5 captures it (ST6). . In ST7, it is determined whether the measurement has ended. In other words, it is determined whether pulse wave information has been captured to the extent that a blood pressure value can be calculated by applying an algorithm. ST until sufficient pulse wave information is obtained.
Assuming that steps 5 to ST7 have been repeated and the measurement has been completed, the determination in ST7 is YES. Then, the blood pressure value is determined by the first blood pressure determination means (photoplethysmography method). That is, the algorithm is applied to the detected photoplethysmogram to calculate the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value (ST8).

[0012] In ST9, it is determined whether the blood pressure value obtained by the first blood pressure determination means is accurate. If it is determined that the blood pressure value obtained by this first blood pressure determination means is accurate (successful blood pressure determination), the determination in ST9 is Y.
ES, and this blood pressure value is adopted and displayed on the display 13 (ST12). On the other hand, for example, due to the influence of external light on the photoplethysm wave, misalignment of the photoelectric sensor, etc., an accurate photoplethysmogram cannot be detected and the measurement result is incorrect, which means that the blood pressure determination has failed. If so, the determination in ST9 is NO, this measurement result is not adopted, and the process proceeds to the next ST10. Here, blood pressure determination processing is executed based on the pressure pulse wave information detected by the second blood pressure determining means (ST10). That is, the blood pressure value is calculated by applying an algorithm to the detected pressure pulse wave information. ST1
1, it is determined whether the measurement result obtained by this second blood pressure determination means is correct. Normally, the second blood pressure determining means does not fail in measurement due to disturbance light or misalignment of the photoelectric sensor, so the determination in ST11 is YES, and the measurement result of the second blood pressure determining means is is adopted and displayed on the display 13 (ST
12). However, if it is determined that the measurement result of the second blood pressure determination means is incorrect (blood pressure determination failure), the ST
The determination in step 11 is NO, and error processing, that is, a measurement error is displayed (ST13).
