Abstract
This article presents a prototype of a new, non-invasive, cuffless, self-calibrating blood pressure measuring device equipped with a pneumatic pressure sensor. The developed sensor has a double function: it measures the waveform of blood pressure and calibrates the device. The device was used to conduct proof-of-concept measurements on 10 volunteers. The main novelty of the device is the pneumatic pressure sensor, which works on the principle of a pneumatic nozzle flapper amplifier with negative feedback. The developed device does not require a cuff and can be used on arteries where cuff placement would be impossible (e.g., on the carotid artery). The obtained results showed that the systolic and diastolic pressure measurement errors of the proposed device did not exceed ±6.6% and ±8.1%, respectively.

Abstract
Accurate estimation of blood pressure (BP) waveforms is critical for ensuring the safety and proper care of patients in intensive care units (ICUs) and for intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring. Normal cuff-based BP measurements can only provide systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Alternatively, the BP waveform can be used to estimate a variety of other physiological parameters and provides additional information about the patient's health. As a result, various techniques are being proposed for accurately estimating the BP waveforms. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge regarding the BP waveform, three methodologies (pressure-based, ultrasound-based, and deep-learning-based) used in noninvasive BP waveform estimation research and the feasibility of employing these strategies at home as well as in ICUs. Additionally, this article will discuss the physical concepts underlying both invasive and noninvasive BP waveform measurements. We will review historical BP waveform measurements, standard clinical procedures, and more recent innovations in noninvasive BP waveform monitoring. Although the technique has not been validated, it is expected that precise, noninvasive BP waveform estimation will be available in the near future due to its enormous potential.

Abstract
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) refers to the ability of the brain vasculature to control blood flow in the face of changing blood pressure. One of the methods commonly used to assess cerebral autoregulation, especially in participants at rest, is the analysis of phase derived from transfer function analysis (TFA), relating arterial blood pressure (ABP) to cerebral blood flow (CBF). This and other indexes of CA can provide consistent results when comparing groups of subjects (e.g. patients and healthy controls or normocapnia and hypercapnia) but can be quite variable within and between individuals. The objective of this paper is to present a novel parametric bootstrap method, used to estimate the sampling distribution and hence confidence intervals (CIs) of the mean phase estimate in the low-frequency band, in order to optimise estimation of measures of CA function and allow more robust inferences on the status of CA from individual recordings. A set of simulations was used to verify the proposed method under controlled conditions. In 20 healthy adult volunteers (age 25.53.5 years), ABP and CBF velocity (CBFV) were measured at rest, using a Finometer device and Transcranial Doppler (applied to the middle cerebral artery), respectively. For each volunteer, five individual recordings were taken on different days, each approximately 18 min long. Phase was estimated using TFA. Analysis of recorded data showed widely changing CIs over the duration of recordings, which could be reduced when noisy data and frequencies with low coherence were excluded from the analysis (Wilcoxon signed rank testp= 0.0065). The TFA window-lengths of 50s gave smaller CIs than lengths of 100s (p< 0.001) or 20s (p< 0.001), challenging the usual recommendation of 100s. The method adds a much needed flexible statistical tool for CA analysis in individual recordings.

Abstract
Advancements in materials science and fabrication techniques have contributed to the significant growing attention to a wide variety of sensors for digital healthcare. While the progress in this area is tremendously impressive, few wearable sensors with the capability of real-time blood pressure monitoring are approved for clinical use. One of the key obstacles in the further development of wearable sensors for medical applications is the lack of comprehensive technical evaluation of sensor materials against the expected clinical performance. Here, we present an extensive review and critical analysis of various materials applied in the design and fabrication of wearable sensors. In our unique transdisciplinary approach, we studied the fundamentals of blood pressure and examined its measuring modalities while focusing on their clinical use and sensing principles to identify material functionalities. Then, we carefully reviewed various categories of functional materials utilized in sensor building blocks allowing for comparative analysis of the performance of a wide range of materials throughout the sensor operational-life cycle. Not only this provides essential data to enhance the materials' properties and optimize their performance, but also, it highlights new perspectives and provides suggestions to develop the next generation pressure sensors for clinical use.

Abstract
The paper presents the development of a new device for measuring continuous pulse pressure waveforms (PPW) from the radial artery via applanation tonometry. The development focuses on improved accuracy, open and affordable design using off-the-shelf components, and greater user control in setting operational and calibration parameters to address user variability. The device design parameters are optimized through a tissue device interaction study based on a computational model. The design incorporates modular components and includes a sensor module for arterial flattening and pressure pick-up, a differential screw mechanism and a related algorithm for controlled stepwise motion and data collection during flattening, and a brace for wrist-flexion adjustment. Maximum pulse amplitude (PA) was used as an indicator of the optimum level of arterial flattening for recording the PPW. The PPW was observed to distort due to changes in parameters like gel-head placement, hold-down pressure (HDP), and wrist extension. The pressure waveforms collected using the device were validated using limited data against established products and showed good correlation within ±1.96 standard deviation of the mean difference in a Bland–Altman plot. This paper thus details the development of a simple and validated mechanical design to measure PPW using arterial tonometry.

Cerebral blood volume and oxygen supply uniformly increase following various intrathoracic pressure strains. Sci Rep 2017; 7:8344.

Abstract
Intrathoracic pressure (ITP) swings challenge many physiological systems. The responses of cerebral hemodynamics to different ITP swings are still less well-known due to the complexity of cerebral circulation and methodological limitation. Using frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy and echocardiography, we measured changes in cerebral, muscular and cardiac hemodynamics in five graded respiratory maneuvers (RM), breath holding, moderate and strong Valsalva maneuvers (mVM/sVM) with 20 and 40 cmH2O increments in ITP, moderate and strong Mueller maneuvers (mMM/sMM) with 20 and 40 cmH2O decrements in ITP controlled by esophageal manometry. We found cerebral blood volume (CBV) maintains relative constant during the strains while it increases during the recoveries together with increased oxygen supply. By contrast changes in muscular blood volume (MBV) are mainly controlled by systemic changes. The graded changes of ITP during the maneuvers predict the changes of MBV but not CBV. Changes in left ventricular stroke volume and heart rate correlate to MBV but not to CBV. These results suggest the increased CBV after the ITP strains is brain specific, suggesting cerebral vasodilatation. Within the strains, cerebral oxygen saturation only decreases in sVM, indicating strong increment rather than decrement in ITP may be more challenging for the brain.

Tissue-informative mechanism for wearable non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring. Sci Rep 2014; 4:6618.

Abstract
Accurate continuous direct measurement of the blood pressure is currently available thru direct invasive methods via intravascular needles, and is mostly limited to use during surgical procedures or in the intensive care unit (ICU). Non-invasive methods that are mostly based on auscultation or cuff oscillometric principles do provide relatively accurate measurement of blood pressure. However, they mostly involve physical inconveniences such as pressure or stress on the human body. Here, we introduce a new non-invasive mechanism of tissue-informative measurement, where an experimental phenomenon called subcutaneous tissue pressure equilibrium is revealed and related for application in detection of absolute blood pressure. A prototype was experimentally verified to provide an absolute blood pressure measurement by wearing a watch-type measurement module that does not cause any discomfort. This work is supposed to contribute remarkably to the advancement of continuous non-invasive mobile devices for 24-7 daily-life ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring.

Abstract
A non-invasive piezo-film-based measurement method for haemodynamic assessment is proposed. The design of a system, able to reconstruct the blood pressure waveform online by dealing with problems arising from the piezo-film capacitive nature in the targeted frequency range (from quasi-dc up to 12 Hz), is illustrated. The system is based on a commercial piezo-film placed easily on the radial artery with a special brace without any discomfort for the patient. The analogical conditioning circuit and digital signal processing are continuously tuned with the signal from the sensor to reconstruct the blood pressure signal online. Diagnostic schema, based on physio-pathological models, have been implemented in order to compute online trends of max[dP(t)/d(t)] and volemic status highly useful for the intensivist and anaesthesiologist. The system was characterized by numerical simulation and experimental in vivo comparison to the traditional reference system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The value of different algorithms that estimate cardiac output (CO) by analysis of a peripheral arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveform has not been definitively identified. In this investigation, we developed a testing data set containing a large number of radial ABP waveform segments and contemporaneous reference CO by thermodilution measurements, collected in an intensive care unit (ICU) patient population during routine clinical operations. We employed this data set to evaluate a set of investigational algorithms, and to establish a public resource for the meaningful comparison of alternative CO-from-ABP algorithms. DESIGN A retrospective comparative analysis of eight investigational CO-from-ABP algorithms using the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II database. SETTING Mixed medical/surgical ICU of a university hospital. PATIENTS A total of 120 cases. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS CO estimated by eight investigational CO-from-ABP algorithms, and CO(TD) as a reference. MAIN RESULTS All investigational methods were significantly better than mean arterial pressure (MAP) at estimating direction changes in CO(TD). Only the formula proposed by Liljestrand and Zander in 1928 was a significantly better quantitative estimator of CO(TD) compared with MAP (95% limits-of-agreement with CO(TD): -1.76/+1.41 L/min versus -2.20/+1.82 L/min, respectively; p < 0.001, per the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). The Liljestrand method was even more accurate when applied to the cleanest ABP waveforms. Other investigational algorithms were not significantly superior to MAP as quantitative estimators of CO. CONCLUSIONS Based on ABP data recorded during routine intensive care unit (ICU) operations, the Liljestrand and Zander method is a better estimator of CO(TD) than MAP alone. Our attempts to fully replicate commercially-available methods were unsuccessful, and these methods could not be evaluated. However, the data set is publicly and freely available, and developers and vendors of CO-from-ABP algorithms are invited to test their methods using these data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this work was to test the hypothesis that the Finapres underestimates blood pressure during sympathetic peripheral vasoconstriction. METHODS Measurements were made simultaneously with two Finapres devices and one radial artery tonometer during the onset of periodic lower body negative pressure in healthy volunteers. The Finapres is believed to underestimate blood pressure during sympathetic peripheral vasoconstriction, but tonometry is not considered to be influenced. A lower blood pressure recording was therefore expected from the Finapres during the induced sympathetic vasoconstriction. To test the association with autonomic activity the time course of the difference between the two measurement techniques was compared with the induced change in heart rate. RESULTS In averaged results from 10 volunteers the Finapres and tonometer both showed a drop in blood pressure with the vacuum onset. A significantly larger drop was recorded by the Finapres. The result is consistent with an underestimate of blood pressure by the Finapres during the autonomic stimulation. The time course of the difference between the two measures of blood pressure follows the induced changes in heart rate, providing further evidence that the differences relate to autonomic activity. CONCLUSION Measurement of the difference may be a convenient method for monitoring the neurological component of peripheral vasoactivity. It is argued that the difference is insensitive to peripheral vasoactivity mediated by local endothelial or myogenic mechanisms.

Abstract
Assessment of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) requires continuous recording of arterial blood pressure (ABP). In humans, noninvasive ABP recordings with the Finapres device have often been used for this purpose. We compared estimates of dynamic CA derived from Finapres with those from invasive recordings in the aorta. Measurements of finger noninvasive ABP (Finapres), intra-aortic ABP (Millar catheter), surface ECG, transcutaneous CO2, and bilateral cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) in the middle cerebral arteries were simultaneously and continuously recorded in 27 patients scheduled for percutaneous coronary interventions. Phase, gain, coherence, and CBFV step response from both the Finapres and intra-arterial catheter were estimated by transfer function analysis. A dynamic autoregulation index (ARI) was also calculated. For both hemispheres, the ARI index and the CBFV step response recovery at 4 s were significantly greater for the Finapres-derived estimates than for the values obtained from aortic pressure. The transfer function gain for frequencies <0.1 Hz was significantly smaller for the Finapres estimates. The phase frequency response was significantly greater for the Finapres estimates at frequencies >0.1 Hz, but not at lower frequencies. The Finapres gives higher values for the efficiency of dynamic CA compared with values derived from aortic pressure measurements, as indicated by biases in the ARI index, CBFV step response, gain, and phase. Despite the significance of these biases, their relatively small amplitude indicates a good level of agreement between indexes of CA derived from the Finapres compared with corresponding estimates obtained from invasive measurements of aortic ABP.

Abstract
Estimates of cerebral critical closing pressure (CrCP) and resistance-area product (RAP) are often derived using noninvasive measurements of arterial blood pressure (ABP) in the finger, but the errors introduced by this approach, in relation to intra-vascular measurements of ABP, are not known. Continuous recordings of ABP (Finapres and solid-state catheter-tip transducer in the ascending aorta), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV, bilateral Doppler), ECG and transcutaneous CO(2) were performed following coronary catheterization. CrCP and RAP were calculated for each of 12,784 cardiac cycles from 27 subjects using the classical linear regression (LR) of the instantaneous CBFV-ABP relationship and also the first harmonic (H(1)) of the Fourier transform. There was a better agreement between LR and H(1) for the aortic measurements than for the Finapres (p < 0.000,01). For LR there were no significant differences for either CrCP or RAP due to the source of ABP measurement, but for H(1) the differences were highly significant (p < 0.000,03). The coherence functions between either CrCP or RAP values calculated with aortic pressure (input) or the Finapres (output) were significantly higher for H(1) than for LR for most harmonics below 0.2 Hz. When using the Finapres to estimate CrCP and RAP values, the LR method produces similar results to intra-arterial measurements of ABP for time-averaged values, but H(1) should be preferred in applications analysing beat-to-beat changes in these parameters.

Abstract
The Vasotrac is a device that provides near-continuous and noninvasive arterial blood pressure monitoring and may be an alternative to direct intraarterial measurement. It has been evaluated in adult patients, but minimal information is available for pediatric patients. We evaluated agreement between measurements of arterial blood pressure and heart rate obtained from the Vasotrac versus an arterial catheter in a pediatric population. Children undergoing corrective cardiac surgery were enrolled. Simultaneous arterial blood pressure measurements were obtained postoperatively from the Vasotrac unit and an arterial catheter. Bland-Altman plots were constructed to assess agreement. Paired correlation analysis, bias, and precision calculations were performed. Sixteen patients, mean age 10.1 +/- 2.3 yr and weight 34.6 +/- 11.9 kg, were enrolled. Four-thousand-one- hundred- two paired measurements were obtained. Arterial blood pressures measured noninvasively correlated with catheter measurements with Pearson r values of 0.90, 0.80, and 0.91 for systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressures, respectively (all P < 0.001). There was excellent agreement between arterial blood pressure measurement methods. Absolute mean differences based on mixed-model regression with 95% confidence intervals were 4.0 mm Hg (3.0-5.0 mm Hg), 4.3 mm Hg (3.1-5.5 mm Hg), and 3.5 mm Hg (2.5-4.0 mm Hg) for systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean blood pressure, respectively. Arterial blood pressure measurements obtained from the Vasotrac agreed well with invasive arterial monitoring in pediatric patients.
