Embodiment Construction
[0021] Routine non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring is limited by the monitor's ability to reliably align positively detected oscillatory pulses with normal heartbeats. Normal cardiac patients (eg, patients not experiencing arrhythmias or abnormal pulses) produce pressure oscillation pulses that are generally equal to each other, which can be stored into a profile and fit to a curve, providing very accurate blood pressure Measurement. In contrast, patients with abnormal heartbeats tend to have altered pressure oscillation profile shapes, such that blood pressure measurements are less accurate when fitting a normal Gaussian curve.
[0022] Described herein are noninvasive blood pressure monitor systems, devices, articles, and methods for use with patients experiencing abnormal heartbeats. The systems, devices, articles and methods use detected electrocardiogram data to filter out abnormal pressure oscillation pulses from detected NIBP pulses. Electrocardiogram (ECG o...
