70 results about "Korotkoff sounds" patented technology

Korotkov sounds are the sounds that medical personnel listen for when they are taking blood pressure using a non-invasive procedure. They are named after Dr. Nikolai Korotkov, a Russian physician who discovered them in 1905, when he was working at the Imperial Medical Academy in St. Petersburg, the Russian Empire.

Electronic auscultation sphygmomanometer based on combination of Korotkoff sound method and oscillometric method

The invention relates to an electronic auscultation sphygmomanometer based on combination of a Korotkoff sound method and an oscillometric method, solving the following problems: the manual auscultation sphygmomanometer is not convenient to carry, and Korotkoff sound auscultation is not easy to operate and is easily affected by the environment. The electronic auscultation sphygmomanometer comprises a cuff with a bladder inside, a sound pickup, an atmospheric pressure sensor, a signal processing unit, an inflation / deflation unit, a human-machine interaction unit and a microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor controls the inflation / deflation unit to inflate or deflate the cuff; after the atmospheric pressure signal obtained by the atmospheric pressure sensor and the Korotkoff sound signal obtained by the sound pickup are processed by the signal processing unit, the microprocessor firstly works out the range of the blood pressure by the oscillometric method, then searches for the Korotkoff sound signal in the range by a thresholding method to obtain the final blood pressure and finally controls the human-machine interaction interface to display the result. The sphygmomanometer can simultaneously ensure stability and precision of the measuring result and can be used in the blood pressure measurement field.

Noninvasive blood pressure measurement and monitoring device

InactiveUS20110208066A1Cumbersome to useSimple and but effective calibration methodStrain gaugeEvaluation of blood vesselsCritically illSurface acoustic wave
Measurement of blood pressure is one of the most common procedures done in a clinical and an ambulatory environment. It is usually done with a sphygmomanometer, where an inflatable cuff is attached to the arm of a patient and the systolic and diastolic pressures are determined, typically by listening to the Korotkoff sounds. Although this method is over 100 years old and widely used, it is well known that it has severe shortcomings.The present invention covers a novel device and method to continuously measure blood pressure using a noninvasive approach. A surface acoustic wave (SAW) pressure sensor is placed on a flexible substrate and placed on the wrist of a patient. This blood pressure sensing device communicates wirelessly with a monitor that is placed several meters away. The monitor can also be a wristwatch worn by the patient. The invention further encompasses a calibration procedure to convert the relative blood pressure values into absolute values.The main application for this novel device and method is in an intensive care environment where continuous monitoring of blood pressure on critically ill patients is important. Since the proposed method is inexpensive it can also be used by patients at home or even by healthy people (e.g. athletes). The reader system consists of an antenna and a standard computer (e.g. laptop) with signal processing software.

System and method for controlling pressure in a surgical tourniquet

A system and method of controlling the pressure within a pressure cuff of a surgical tourniquet so as selectively to occlude blood flow within a portion of a limb of a patient, wherein a sensor determines when flow past the tourniquet is occurring so that corrective action may be taken, such as by increasing the pressure in the tourniquet or by notifying an operator of the flow past the tourniquet. The present invention may use an acoustic sensor to detect Korotkoff sounds indicating incipient blood flow past the tourniquet. When such signals are detected, the tourniquet controller may either incrementally increase the pressure in the tourniquet, or if a threshold would be exceeded by such an increase, signal an alarm indicative of the blood flow.
