subject: You Can Choose Your Health Exactly [print this page] In the case where an anesthesiologist judges the abnormality of blood pressure monitor manufacturers of a patient during an operation, his or her criteria for Judgment of abnormal blood pressure may differ from those of other anesthesiologists. Further, the judgment of abnormal blood pressure made by the anesthesiologist may vary depending upon various factors such as the kind of the operation, or the physical power and age of the patient. In view of this, the above-indicated relationship between first reference range and standard blood pressure is preferably determined by an operator of the blood pressure monitor manufacturers apparatus. According to this arrangement, the relationship between first reference range and standard blood pressure is determined by the operator of the apparatus depending upon the circumstances. Accordingly, the relationship can be determined for each specific operation, for instance, in view of a medical judgment of a doctor in charge, the kind of the operation, and the physical power and age of each specific patient who undergoes the operation. Therefore, the present arrangement assures that the first reference range is appropriately determined according to the thus determined relationship, and that the abnormality of blood pressure of the patient is accurately judged.
Where the first reference range is defined by the upper first threshold and the relationship between upper first threshold and standard blood pressure is determined, the relationship is preferably determined such that a smaller upper first threshold corresponds to a higher standard blood pressure. According to this arrangement wherein the upper first threshold decreases with the increase in the standard blood pressure monitor manufacturers obtained from the subject, the apparatus judges that the blood pressure of the subject is abnormal even if an increase of the blood pressure may be small where the standard blood pressure is high. On the other hand, the apparatus does not judge that the blood pressure is abnormal even if an increase of the blood pressure may be large where the standard blood pressure is low. Therefore, the present arrangement assures an accurate judgment of abnormal blood pressure.
In yet another preferred feature of the invention, the blood pressure monitor manufacturers of the subject is judged to be abnormal when the each of the blood pressure values does not fall in a third reference range. According to this arrangement, the blood pressure of the subject can be judged to be abnormal based on the each of the iteratively obtained blood pressure values itself, irrespective of the change of blood pressure of the subject. Accordingly, the blood pressure monitor apparatus according to the present feature is capable of accurately judging the abnormality of blood pressure of the subject.
