Sistema para evaluación de algoritmos de detección de los instants de sístole y diástole

Abstract

Blood pressure measurements obtained by non - invasive methods are an indispensable procedure for evaluating and treating patients in a medical environment. At present this procedure has been implemented in much automatic equipment. All of them must pass a validation test using the AAMI standard SP10 or the BHS standard. In spite of such standards, equipment which pass the test, not always assure the accuracy in arrhythmias or movement artefacts environment. Besides, the success in validation test mainly depends of the experience and training of two observer who determinate the systole and diastole gold standard. This paper presents the algorithm and software to obtain a more accuracy and robust systole and diastole blood pressure, as a gold standard for validation; algorithms for detecting blood pressure and equipments. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
