[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-mentioned conventional electronic blood pressure monitor, for example, as shown in FIG. Capture amplitude. During this pressurization, if it is possible to obtain multiple pulse wave amplitudes that are sufficient to estimate the systolic blood pressure value, the systolic blood pressure value can be estimated by applying a predetermined algorithm.
By stopping pressurization of the cuff at the time when the cuff pressure has increased by a predetermined pressure to this estimated systolic blood pressure value, an ideal pressurization target value can be obtained. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the cuff pressurization speed becomes too fast due to, for example, the subject's arm being thin. In this case, if the inflation rate is uniform as in the past, no matter how many times the cuff is inflated, some pulse waves may not be captured, and there is insufficient pulse wave information to determine the systolic blood pressure value. cannot be obtained and systolic blood pressure cannot be estimated. Therefore, there was a disadvantage that an appropriate pressurization target value could not be determined.

[0006] In an electronic blood pressure monitor having such a configuration,
A pulse wave is captured during cuff pressurization, a systolic blood pressure value is estimated based on the captured pulse wave, and cuff pressurization is stopped when the estimated systolic blood pressure value rises by a predetermined amount. In this point, there is no difference from conventional pressurization target value determining means. The key point of this invention is to determine whether sufficient pulse wave information has been obtained to determine the systolic blood pressure value when the cuff is pressurized for a predetermined time and at a predetermined inflation rate. For example, if the arm is too thin, the cuff inflation speed may be too fast.
For example, if the cuff pressure has already reached 180 mmHg but part of the pulse wave cannot be captured and it is determined that the systolic blood pressure value cannot be estimated, cuff inflation is stopped. . After this, the cuff is once rapidly decompressed. In other words, the cuff pressure must be increased by, for example,
Reduce the pressure to about 0 mmHg. Furthermore, the pressurization speed is adjusted. That is, the cuff pressurization rate is adjusted to about 70%, for example, to the extent that the pulse wave signal can be captured reliably. Then, under these conditions, the cuff is re-inflated, a pulse wave signal is captured while the cuff is inflated, the systolic blood pressure is estimated, and a target inflating value is determined. Therefore, even in the case of a person with thin arms, the systolic blood pressure can be reliably estimated and an accurate pressurization target value can be determined.

[0008] The electronic blood pressure monitor has a cuff 1, a pressure pump 2 for pressurizing the cuff, a rapid exhaust valve 3 for decompressing the cuff, and a slow exhaust valve 4, each connected via an air tube 10 to form an air system. ing. The rapid exhaust valve 3 and the pressurizing pump 2 are electrically connected to the MPU 5, which will be described later.
Each drive is controlled by the PU5. The air tube 10 also includes a pressure sensor 6 for detecting the pressure inside the cuff.
is in place. This pressure sensor 6 detects the air pressure inside the cuff 1, and sends this detection signal to an A/D converter 8 via a low-pass filter 7, and the A/D converter 8 converts this analog signal into a digital signal. and transmits it to the MPU5. The electronic blood pressure monitor of this embodiment employs an oscillometric system as a blood pressure determining means. In other words, the artery wall compressed by the cuff 1 vibrates in response to the pulsations. This vibration amplitude changes depending on the amount of compression. This vibration causes the air pressure inside the cuff 1 to vibrate through the cuff 1. This vibration of air pressure within the cuff 1 is detected as a pulse wave. That is, the pulse wave that rides on the cuff pressure signal detected by the pressure sensor 6 is extracted and the pulse wave amplitude value is determined. The MPU 5 applies a predetermined (known) algorithm to the captured pulse wave information to determine the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value. Also, this MPU5
executes systolic blood pressure estimation processing from the pulse wave information captured during cuff inflation, and adds a predetermined pressure (for example, 15m) to the estimated systolic blood pressure value.
It has a function to determine the cuff pressurization by adding mHg) as the pressurization target value. Furthermore, this MPU 5 holds the cuff 1 for a predetermined period of time.
A function to determine whether pulse wave information necessary for estimating systolic blood pressure has been obtained at the time of pressurization at a predetermined pressurization rate, and FIG.
As shown in , for example, if it is determined that the pulse wave information necessary for estimating systolic blood pressure has not been obtained even though the cuff pressure has already reached 180 mmHg, pressurization of cuff 1 is stopped and the cuff is removed. 1 is rapidly evacuated, and the cuff pressure is, for example, 30 mmHg.
After depressurizing the cuff until the cuff reaches 70% and slowing down the cuff inflation rate to 70% of the predetermined inflation rate, the cuff is inflated again to estimate the systolic blood pressure value and determine the target inflation value. Also, this M

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing specific processing operations of the electronic blood pressure monitor according to the embodiment. For example, when the cuff 1 is wrapped around the upper arm and a measurement switch is pressed, the pressurization pump 2 is driven and pressurization of the cuff 1 is started. At this time, the reset pressurization operation determination flag P is set to 0 at the same time [step (
(hereinafter referred to as ST)1]. Then, pulse wave information detection is executed while the cuff 1 is being pressurized (ST2). In ST3, it is determined whether or not reset pressurization is necessary. When cuff 1 is inflated for a predetermined time and at a predetermined inflation rate, is pulse wave information for estimating systolic blood pressure not detected? In other words, the inflation rate is too fast and the pulse wave cannot be captured. Determining whether it is insufficient. If pulse wave information for estimating systolic blood pressure has been detected, there is no need to reset pressurization. Therefore, the determination in ST3 is NO, and the process proceeds to the next ST4. In ST4, it is determined whether the estimated systolic blood pressure (SP) has been determined. ST2 to ST4 are repeated until the systolic blood pressure value can be estimated. Assuming that the systolic blood pressure value can now be estimated, the determination in ST4 is YES, and the process moves to the next ST5. In ST5, it is determined whether the cuff 1 has reached the target pressurization value. In other words, the estimated systolic blood pressure value is, for example, 15
It is determined whether the cuff 1 has been pressurized to a state where the pressure has increased by mmHg. Assuming that the cuff 1 is pressurized to the target pressurization value, the determination in ST5 becomes YES and pressurization is stopped (ST6). Then, the process moves to the pressure reduction process of the cuff 1, and based on the pulse wave information obtained in this pressure reduction process, a blood pressure calculation process is executed to calculate the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure (ST8). In ST9, it is determined whether the diastolic blood pressure value (DP) has been calculated. In other words, it is determined whether the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value have been determined. If the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure are determined, the judgment in ST9 becomes YES, and cuff 1
is rapidly evacuated, and the determined systolic blood pressure value and diastolic blood pressure value are displayed on the display 9 (ST10).

On the other hand, if it is determined in ST3 that reset pressure is necessary, that is, if the subject's arm is thin, the speed of inflation of cuff 1 is too fast, and for example, the cuff pressure has already reached 180 m.
If it is determined that the pulse wave information necessary for estimating the systolic blood pressure has not been obtained even though the blood pressure has reached mHg, the determination in ST3 becomes YES and the process proceeds to ST11. ST1
1, it is determined whether the reset pressurization operation determination flag P is "1" or not. In other words, it is determined whether or not reset pressurization has already been performed once. In this case, for the first time (first time)
This is the reset pressure of ST, and since P is "0", this ST
The determination in step 11 is NO, and the pressurization of the cuff 1 is stopped in ST12, and rapid evacuation (rapid decompression) is performed. Then, in the next step ST13, it is determined whether the cuff pressure has been reduced to 30 mmHg. In other words, it is determined whether or not the pressure has been reduced to a level where a pulse wave signal can be sufficiently detected. Assuming that the cuff 1 is depressurized to 30 mmHg, the determination in ST13 becomes YES, and then the pressurization speed of the cuff 1 is set to 70% of the predetermined speed, and re-pressurization is executed (ST14). In other words, even if the arm is too thin, the pressurization speed is adjusted to such an extent that the pulse wave signal can be reliably captured (see FIG. 3). Then, the reset pressurization operation determination flag P is set to "1" (ST15), the process returns to ST2, and the blood pressure estimation process is executed under this pressurization speed. Systolic blood pressure estimation processing and pressurization target value determination processing are executed. In addition, in this embodiment, reset pressure is executed only once, and if it is determined that reset pressure is required for the second reset pressure (ST3), the way the cuff 1 is wrapped is changed. It is determined that it is incorrect, etc., and the process moves from ST11 to ST10, and the blood pressure measurement is stopped.

Although an example has been shown in which the determination criterion is whether or not pulse wave information necessary for estimating systolic blood pressure has been obtained, the present invention is not limited to this. If a wave cannot be detected, or if a descending line of the pulse wave cannot be obtained even after pressurizing to 220 mmHg, it may be determined that reset pressurization is necessary.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the case where a part of the pulse wave cannot be captured during cuff inflation and the estimated systolic blood pressure value cannot be determined, the cuff pressure is reduced to a predetermined pressure and the cuff is inflated. Since we decided to reduce the pressure speed to a predetermined speed and repressurize,
Disadvantages such as inability to determine an appropriate pressurization target value due to the inability to estimate systolic blood pressure due to the inflating speed being too fast due to thin arms, etc. can be eliminated, and the pressurization target value can be determined quickly, easily, and reliably. , has an excellent effect of achieving the purpose of the invention.
