A waterproof bioelectrode includes an electrode pad (101) to be mounted on a living body and a lead wire (110) to be connected to the electrode pad. The electrode pad includes a waterproof base (106) having an adhesive contacting surface and a hole substantially at its center, a waterproof seal member (105) which fixes the lead wire to a lower surface of the contacting surface of the base while covering the hole such that a detection electrode provided to a distal end of the lead wire is exposed from the hole of the waterproof base, and a conductive gel (103) arranged on the contacting surface to come into contact with the detection electrode.
A blood pressure monitoring apparatus which continuously estimates and monitors the blood pressure by using the pulse wave propagation time can accurately estimate the blood pressure. While an estimated blood pressure is continuously calculated by using the pulse wave propagation time, the correlation between the pulse wave propagation time and the interval between feature points contained in two consecutive heart beat waveforms of an electrocardiogram is monitored. If the correlation is reversed, the blood pressure is actually measured, and the estimated blood pressure is corrected on the basis of the difference between the estimated blood pressure and actually measured blood pressure.
A pulse wave is detected in a predetermined location of a living body, and the progressive wave component and reflected wave component are extracted from the pulse wave. The pulse wave propagation time is calculated from the progressive wave component and reflected wave component, and blood pressure is calculated on the basis of this pulse wave propagation time. The use of this method provides blood pressure measuring apparatus capable of continuously measuring blood pressure with a simple method.
In blood pressure monitoring apparatus which continuously estimates and monitors blood pressure by using the pulse wave propagation time, blood pressure fluctuation can be accurately estimated. If both blood pressure estimated from the pulse wave propagation time and a waveform parameter obtained from the accelerated pulse wave have abnormal values, it is determined that the blood pressure is truly fluctuating, and blood pressure measurement by another method, e.g., blood pressure measurement using a cuff is performed.
Blood pressure values measured in four limbs are plotted on first to fourth linear axes which extend from an origin in an upper right direction, an upper left direction, a lower left direction, and a lower right direction respectively, and a rectangle composed of vertices which are determined by the plotted blood pressure values is illustrated to present the blood pressure values. This allows a specific measured value in each site to be easily known, and the relationships between the blood pressure values in the four limbs are intuitively understood from the shape of the rectangle.
