혈압을 측정하는 방법에는 침습적(Invasive)인 방법과 비침습적(Non-invasive)인 방법이 있는데 침습적인 방법에 의한 혈압측정의 경우 정확한 값을 얻는 반면에 그 사용법이 복잡하고 환자에게 불편하므로 중환자의 경우를 제외한 경우 대부분 비침습적인 방법에 의해 혈압을 측정한다. 현재 전자 혈압계의 경우 대부분이 오실로메트릭(Oscillometric) 방법을 사용하여 기본적인 시스템을 구성하고 여기에 여러 가지 알고리즘을 부가적으로 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서 이러한 혈압 측정 시스템을 개발하기 위해 커프(Cuff)의 압력을 제어, 측정하고 측정된 데이터를 필터링하여 혈압을 측정할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 구성하였다. 통신방식으로는 개발된 시스템의 모든 기능이 개인용 컴퓨터(Personal Computer)와의 통신을 통해 이루어지도록 구성되어져 있으며, 사용된 통신방식은 비동기 직렬 통신 방식(RS-232)인 패킷방식을 사용하였고 솔레노이드(Solenoid) 밸브를 이용한 자동 또는 급속 배기 방법을 이용하여 커프의 압력을 감압(Deflation)하였다. 혈압측정 알고리즘은 기본적인 오실로메트릭 방법과 최대 진폭 알고리즘(Maximum Amplitude Algorithm)을 사용하였다. 최대진폭 알고리즘에서는 측정된 오실레이션(Oscillation)중 최고의 진폭을 가지는 오실레이션 같은 오차의 원인이 되는 연령이나 체중, 팔의 두께에 따라 다양하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 오실레이션의 간에 획일적인 비율을 적용하지 않고 여러 가지 요인들에 대한 가변적인 특정 비율(Characteristic Ratio)반영하여 보다 정확한 최고혈압(Systolic Blood Pressure), 최저혈압(Diastolic Blood Pressure), 평균혈압(Mean Blood Pressure)의 값을 구하는 연구를 하였다. 최고진폭 알고리즘에서 가변적인 특성비율의 적용은 혈압간의 오차를 줄일 수 있을것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 ANFIS를 이용한 전자혈압계 측정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 우선, 기존의 팔뚝형 커프와 수동 공기주입기 방식의 전자혈압 측정시스템을 구축하여 혈압신호를 실시간으로 취득하였다. 다음단계로 취득된 실시간 혈압신호를 이용하여 최고혈압과 최저혈압을 측정하기 위해 MAA(Maximum Amplitude Algorithm) 기법을 이용한 다. 그러나, MAA기법은 개인의 특성을 고려하지 않고 일정한 비율을 고정시키므로 정확한 혈압을 측정하는데 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 MAA에 의해 측정된 최고혈압과 최저혈압을 ANFIS를 이용하여 학습시킴으로서 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 보이기 위해 다양한 혈압선호에 대해 실험한 결과 기존의 MAA에 의한 방법보다 향상된 결과를 나타냈다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a measurement model based on PLS (Partial least square) method for blood pressures. Measurement system for blood pressure signals consisted of pressure sensor, va interface and embedded module. A mercury sphygmomanometer was connected with the measurement system through 3-way stopcock and used as reference of blood pressures. The blood pressure signals of 20 subjects were measured and tests were repeated 5 times per each subject. Total of 100 data were divided into a calibration set and a prediction set. The PLS models were developed to determine the systolic and the diastolic blood pressures. The PLS models were evaluated by the standard methods of the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol and the American Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The results of the PLS models were compared with those of MAA (maximum amplitude algorithm). The measured blood pressures with PLS method were highly correlated to those with a mercury sphygmomanometer in the systolic ($R^2=0.85$) and the diastolic blood pressure ($R^2=0.84$). The results showed that the PLS models were the effective tools for blood pressure measurements with high accuracy, and satisfied the standards of the BHS protocol and the AAMI.

This study was conducted in order to determine how reductions in blood pressure during surgery affect intraoperative neuromonitoring. This retrospective study considered a total of 339 patients: 194 patients with normal neuromonitoring findings (57%), 145 (42%) with abnormal neuromonitoring findings, and 34 (10%) with postoperative neurological deficits. Comparisons between the three groups revealed that overall blood pressure during surgery, postoperative blood pressure, and the difference between the maximum and minimum blood pressure could affect the intraoperative neuromonitoring findings. While we indicate that a drop in blood pressure to below 70 mmHg could affect neuromonitoring results, differences in the dosage of anesthetic agents did not significantly affect reductions in blood pressure or neuromonitoring findings. The association of monitoring with blood pressure found in this study is expected to help future examiners. However, this study did not clarify the relationship between anesthesia and blood pressure and how it could affect intraoperative neuromonitoring. Therefore, further research on this part is thought to be necessary.

This study is attempted to correct an error of electronic blood pressure meter with an optical sensor. In general, for a hospitalized patient, ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and respiration are basically measured to monitor the patient's condition. Opening of a blood vessel after it is occluded by pressurizing the cuff influences the blood flow of peripheral blood vessels as well as oscillation changes in the cuff. Blood vessels are occluded and peripheral blood flow disappears at cuff pressure above the examinee's blood pressure, while blood vessels are opened and peripheral blood flow appears again at cuff pressure under the examinee's blood pressure. Then Disappear-Appear Point Length(DAPL) of peripheral blood flow can be judged with the signal of peripheral blood flow, thus is available as a factor of error correction for electronic blood pressure meter. Also, systolic or diastolic blood pressure can be corrected with Appear-Point-Pressure(APP) of cuff pressure at a point where blood flow occurs and Appear-Maximum Pressure(AMP) of cuff pressure at the maximum amplitude point of peripheral blood flow after peripheral blood flow appears again. For verification, 27 examinees were selected, and their blood value was obtained through experimental procedure of 4 stages including induction of blood pressure change. The examinees were divided into two groups of experimental group and control group, regression analysis was conducted for experimental group, and correction of a blood pressure error was verified with optical signal by applying the regression equation calculated in experimental group to control group. As an experimental result, mean of the whole measurement errors was 5mmHg or more, which did not meet the standard fur blood pressure meter. As a result of correcting blood pressure measurements with data of DAPL, APP, and AMP as drawn out of PPG signal, systolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure were $-0.6{\pm}4.4mmHg,\;-1.0{\pm}3.9mmHg$ and $-1.3{\pm}5.4mmHg$, respectively, indicating that mean of the whole measurement errors was greatly improved, and standard deviation was decreased.

This study investigated if the proper pressure level on the wrist tendon area and muscle area of the lower arm are within the same range by examining the responses of blood flow and subjective evaluation. Subjects consisted of 18 males in their 20s, and the experimental bands were custom-made by applying size measurements of each subject. In the experiment, a total of 5 steps were selected by reducing 10 (Step 1) to 50 (Step 5)% from the original body size in the circumferential direction. Blood flow was measured with a sensor attached to the tip of the finger inside the right hand while sitting in a chair for 15 minutes. Blood velocity began to increase (0.82 kPa) when the wrist circumference around tendon area was reduced by 20% (Step 2) and reached its maximum (1.72 kPa) at Step 4. However, the preferred subjective pressure was 1.36 kPa, which was less than the maximum pressure value of 1.72 kPa for Step 4. Blood velocity began to increase when pressure on the muscle area was 1.38 kPa and reached its maximum at 2.16 kPa; however, the most preferred clothing pressure was 1.71 kPa. The results of this study showed that the appropriate pressure level was higher in the muscle area than in the wrist tendon of the lower arm and indicated that graduated compression is favorable.

This research is about effects of obesity adults participating in 12weeks of boxing diets program on weight loss, blood pressure and blood sugar improvements. The exercise program was conducted three times a week with a maximum heart rate of 50 to 65 percent for first to forth weeks and 65 to 85 percent for fifth to twelfth. The study included 59 obese people in their 20s and 50s, with a BMI of 25kg/m2 or higher, blood pressure of 140/90mmHg, and high blood pressure and diabetes patients of 125 mg/dl per fasting blood sugar. The following results were obtained by observing the results before and after the boxing exercise program. High blood pressure, diabetes, high blood pressure + diabetes after 12 weeks showed significant weight, BMI and body fat reduction, as well as significant decrease in blood pressure and fasting blood sugar. Consequently, through this study, obese adults can lower their weight, blood pressure, and blasting fasting blood sugar through a 12-week high-strength boxing exercise program and it is believed to help improve and prevent obesity, cardiovascular disease and metabolic diseases.

Using an arterial pressure-volume (APV) model, we performed an analysis of the conventional blood pressure estimation method using an oscillometric sphygmomanometer with computer simulation. Traditionally, the maximum amplitude algorithm (MAA) has been applied to the oscillation waveforms of the APV model to obtain the mean arterial pressure and the characteristic ratio. The estimation of mean arterial pressure and characteristic ratio was significantly affected by the shape of the blood pressure waveforms and the cutoff frequency of high-pass filter (HPF) circuitry. Experimental errors result from these effects when estimating blood pressure. To determine an algorithm independent of the influence of waveform shapes and parameters of HPF, the volume oscillation of the APV model and the phase shift of the oscillation with fast Fourier transform (FFT) were tested while increasing the cuff pressure from 1 mmHg to 200 mmHg (1 mmHg/s). The phase shift between ranges of volume oscillation was then only observed between the systolic and the diastolic blood pressures. The same results were obtained from simulations performed on two different arterial blood pressure waveforms and one hyperthermia waveform.

The purpose of this study is to collect fundamental data for adult female health improvement based on urban adult female obesity and cardiopulmonary function. Surveyed were 859 adult females who visited a health improvement center in D district in Seoul between April, 1999, and December, 1999, and the resulting data are as follows: 1. The adult female mean BMI was $23.97{\pm}3.11kgm^2$, which comes within the range of overweight. Among them, BMI of the females aged 41-60, and over 60, were significantly higher. Mean percentage of body fat was $32.07{\pm}4.63$, and it significantly increased in accordance with age, recording the highest among those aged over 60. 2. The systolic blood pressure significantly increased in accordance with age, recording highest among those aged over 60. Those aged 41-60 and over 60 showed significantly higher diastolic blood pressure than those in their 20s and 30s; however, they had a significantly lower heart rate. Vital capacity and maximum oxygen intake significantly decreased in accordance with age, and those aged over 60 were lowest. 3. As to health perception, 20.6% of the subjects perceived themselves as healthy, and those who perceived themselves as unhealthy showed significantly higher BMI than those who perceived themselves to be of moderate health. 4. There were no significant differences in blood pressure, heart rate and maximum oxygen intake in accordance with health perception, but those who perceived themselves as healthy showed significantly higher vital capacity than those who didn't. 5. As to cardiopulmonary function in accordance with obesity, the obese group showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure than those whose weight was normal to overweight. The diastolic blood pressure of the normal weight group was the lowest, while the obese group showed significantly lower vital capacity and maximum oxygen intake. These findings indicate that the womens' health promotion program must include an effective strategy for preventing obesity, and strengthening cardiopulmonary function.
