Description

1 TARIFF A device that allows for the direct measurement of blood pressure. Technical Area The invention is a procedure for measuring blood pressure through intervention, developed for use in the healthcare sector. It relates to a device that allows direct measurement using a non-invasive method without the need for external assistance. State of the Art In current technology, blood pressure measurement is performed using two main methods. The first method is generally... This is done indirectly by compressing and relaxing the artery using a cuff on the arm. It is a non-invasive method. In this method, the cuff is inflated to a certain pressure. And then the pressure is slowly reduced. During this time, it depends on the blood flow within the vessel. Changes are detected and blood pressure readings are calculated. This method is used at least once. This is a commonly used method. The second method is invasive, or direct measurement. This In this technique, a catheter is placed inside any of the arteries, and the artery is then... The pressure data inside is electronically measured via a sensor and converted into a numerical value. It is rotated and displayed on a screen. This is especially important in situations requiring sensitive and real-time monitoring. The method in question is preferred. 20 The first method mentioned above, which is indirect measurement, is included in the known state of the art. The method is easy to apply and inexpensive, and it does not cause any harm or discomfort to the patient. It is widely preferred despite its high cost. However, the accuracy of this method is not always guaranteed. This is not complete and accurate. In cases where blood pressure values ​​are outside the normal range, 25 The margin of error in measurement results may increase, especially in patients with low blood pressure. Taking measurements is often difficult and impossible. In addition, close monitoring... Frequent measurements are necessary for patients who require them, but this method does not allow for this process. It is not possible. The second method, which is another known aspect of the technique, is the invasive measurement method, which is more... Because it can provide accurate and real-time data, it is used in intensive care units or surgical procedures. This method is frequently preferred. In this procedure, a thin catheter is inserted into an artery near the patient's skin. The catheter is inserted. The pressure inside the blood vessel is continuously monitored by a sensor. 2 It measures it as such. However, this invasive method requires the patient to undergo an interventional procedure. this requires and during this procedure there is a risk of pain, discomfort or infection for the patient. It can be extracted. This method is quite difficult and often requires changes in its application. Because it is commonly heard, it requires a certain level of expertise and experience. However, the process... 5 serious risks during or after application, such as infection, bleeding, and even limb loss. It can cause complications. Because it is an invasive procedure, it is transmitted through the bloodstream. Both patients and healthcare professionals are at risk of contracting diseases. It is below average. Moreover, the cost is quite low because the equipment used is based on advanced technology. It is high. In the current state of the art and in order to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, new The devices need to be improved.
