Abstract
A system for monitoring blood pressure includes a blood pressure cuff, a blood pressure measurement device removably connected to the blood pressure cuff, and a cuff verification module. The cuff verification module is executable on a processor to receive medical record information from a patient, determine an expected cuff size for the patient based on the medical record information, receive a detected cuff size for the blood pressure cuff, and verify that the detected cuff size is consistent with the expected cuff size.
Claims23
A system for monitoring blood pressure, the system comprising:
- a blood pressure cuff;
- a blood pressure measurement device removably connected to the blood pressure cuff;
- and
- a cuff verification module executable on a processor to perform cuff verification, including:
- receiving medical record information for a patient, wherein the medical record information includes an age of the patient;
- for each cuff verification, calculating an expected cuff size for the patient based on the age of the patient obtained from the medical record information;
- receiving a detected cuff size for the blood pressure cuff;
- verifying that the detected cuff size is consistent with the expected cuff size;
- and
- controlling inflation of the blood pressure cuff based on the expected cuff size.
A method of monitoring blood pressure of a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving medical record information for the patient at a processor of a blood pressure measurement device, wherein the medical record information includes an age of the patient;
- performing a cuff verification process, including, for each cuff verification:
- calculating, at the processor, an expected cuff size for the patient based on the age of the patient obtained from the medical record information;
- receiving, at the processor, a detected cuff size of a blood pressure cuff for use on the patient;
- comparing, at the processor, the detected cuff size to the expected cuff size;
- and
- verifying, at the processor, that the detected cuff size is consistent with the expected cuff size;
- and
- controlling inflation of the blood pressure cuff by the blood pressure measurement device based on the expected cuff size.
A system for monitoring blood pressure, the system comprising:
- a blood pressure cuff;
- a blood pressure measurement device removably connected to the blood pressure cuff;
- and
- a cuff verification module executable on a processor to perform cuff verification, including:
- receiving medical record information for a patient, wherein the medical record information includes at least one of an age, a height, and a weight of the patient;
- for each cuff verification, calculating an expected cuff size for the patient based on the at least one of the age, the height, and the weight obtained from the medical record information;
- receiving a detected cuff size for the blood pressure cuff;
- verifying that the detected cuff size is consistent with the expected cuff size;
- and
- controlling inflation of the blood pressure cuff based on the expected cuff size.
