Abstract :
The appropriate pressure transducer and the prototype system for noninvasive measurement of blood pressure was developed to detect blood pressure pulse from radial artery on the wrist. Three signals, intra-arterial pressure pulse, radial artery pulse, and FSR output were collected from 5 patients during surgery. The results showed that the phasic configuration of two waveforms, intra-arterial pressure pulse and radial artery pressure pulse, was remarkably similar when the wrist strap was fastened to the point which made the arterial pressure pulse waveform to a maximum peak-to-peak value
