Blood pressure measurement on the cheek
In a large group of patients, it is impossible to measure blood pressure using an upper arm cuff. An alternative, non-invasive method of blood pressure measurement is required for patients with severe limb deformities or obesity, for amputees, and in the emergency medicine. The device proposed here...

In a large group of patients, it is impossible to measure blood pressure using an upper arm cuff. An alternative, non-invasive method of blood pressure measurement is required for patients with severe limb deformities or obesity, for amputees, and in the emergency medicine. The device proposed here measures blood pressure in the cheek using a small pressure pad and a pump to occlude the cheek artery – arteria facialis – and assesses blood flow with an infrared light source and a detector. The infrared light signal is analysed to assess the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the patient. Manual evaluation of the light intensity signal showed a good agreement between cheek blood pressure measurement and a reference measurement using an upper arm cuff. |
