Automatic blood pressure monitoring system
First Claim
1. An automatic blood pressure monitoring system for automatically obtaining blood pressure measurements, comprising:
- determining means for determining a measure of blood pressure of a living body;
detecting means for detecting a degree of saturation of oxygen in blood which flows in a peripheral part of said living body, said detecting means generating a signal representative of an abnormality if said degree of saturation of oxygen is found abnormal; and
control means responsive to said signal supplied from said detecting means, to start said determining means to determine said measure of blood pressure of said living body.

Abstract
An automatic blood pressure monitoring system includes a device which detects the degree of saturation of oxygen in the blood at a peripheral part of the body. The detecting device generates a signal if the degree of saturation is detected to be abnormal. A control device operates a blood pressure measuring device in response to the signal indicating abnormal oxygen saturation. In a second embodiment, a trigger device periodically generates a signal to operate the blood pressure measuring device. When an abnormal oxygen saturation is detected, a signal operates the blood pressure measuring device and the triggering interval is shortened.

9. An automatic blood pressure monitoring system for automatically obtaining blood pressure measurements, comprising:
-
determining means for determining a measure of blood pressure of a living body; detecting means for detecting a degree of saturation of oxygen in blood which flows in a peripheral part of said living body, said detecting means generating a signal representative of an abnormality if said degree of saturation of oxygen is found abnormal; and trigger means for generating a first signal at intervals to periodically start said determining means so as to determine said measure, said trigger means being responsive to said signal supplied from said detecting means, to generate a second signal at intervals shorter than said intervals at which to generate said first signal, so as to periodically start said determining means for determining said measure.
