| 20090137912 | Blood Pressure Measurement Apparatus - A blood pressure measurement apparatus includes: a detector, operable to detect a first pulse, a second pulse prior to the first pulse and a third pulse prior to the second pulse under the same pressure; a first distinguisher, operable to distinguish whether waveforms of the first and second pulses are substantially identical with each other; a second distinguisher, when the waveforms are not substantially identical with each other, operable to distinguish whether parameters of the first, second and third pulses meet a condition corresponding to arrhythmia; a determiner, operable to determine the first and second pulses to be pulse waves when the waveforms are substantially identical with each other, and operable to determine the first, second and third pulses to be pulse waves when the parameters meet the condition; and a calculator, operable to calculate a blood pressure value based on the pulse waves. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20100222650 | BIOLOGICAL SIGNAL MEASURING APPARATUS - A biological signal measuring apparatus includes: a pressure sensor which measures a pressure in a living body; a respiratory sensor which measures respiratory information; and an outputting unit which detects an end-tidal based on the respiratory information measured by the respiratory sensor and which outputs a pressure value based on the pressure measured by the pressure sensor when detecting the end-tidal. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110054328 | BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION MONITOR - A biological information monitor includes: a first measuring unit which measures a pulse wave propagation time of a patient; a second measuring unit which measures a blood pressure of the patient; a calculating unit which calculates an estimated blood pressure value of the patient based on the pulse wave propagation time of the patient; a setting unit which sets a threshold; and a determining unit which compares the estimated blood pressure value with the threshold. The second measuring unit is activated to measure the blood pressure of the patient at least one of at time intervals and at a time when an operator operates the second measuring unit, and the second measuring unit is activated to measure the blood pressure of the patient by the determining unit based on the comparison result. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110060531 | BLOOD VOLUME MEASURING METHOD AND BLOOD VOLUME MEASURING APPARATUS - A blood volume measuring method includes: acquiring data of stroke volume variation at each respiratory rate, and storing the acquired data in a first buffer; reading an N1 number of the data stored in the first buffer, from the first buffer, and storing the N1 number of the data in a second buffer; excluding a part of the data stored in the second buffer, a value of each of which exceeds a first upper limit or falls below a first lower limit, from the data stored in the second buffer, and storing the other of the data stored in the second buffer, in a third buffer; acquiring a deviation of each of the data stored in the third buffer, from a median value of the data stored in the third buffer, excluding a part of the data stored in the third buffer, the deviation of each of which exceeds a second upper limit or falls below a second lower limit, from the data stored in the third buffer, and storing the other of the data stored in the third buffer, in a fourth buffer; determining whether N2/N1 is within an allowable value or not, wherein the N2 is a number of the data stored in the fourth buffer; and when it is determined that the N2/N1 is within the allowable value, calculating data of average stroke volume variation based on the data stored in the fourth buffer. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110098540 | BIOLOGICAL PARAMETER DISPLAYING APPARATUS - A biological parameter displaying apparatus includes: a coordinate displaying unit which displays first coordinates in which a first biological parameter of a patient, which is measured by a first measuring unit, is set as an X-axis, and a second biological parameter of the patient, which is different in kind from the first biological parameter and which is measured by a second measuring unit, is set as a Y-axis; a plot data producing unit which produces first plot data, each of the first plot data being produced based on first measurement values of the first and second biological parameters which are measured at a same time or in a same time zone; and a plot displaying unit which plots the first plot data in the first coordinates. | 04-28-2011 |
