The Blood Pressure Analysis on Critically Ill Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study is to explore the relationship between coefficient of variation of harmonic magnitude (HCV) and different organ failures among those critically ill patients. In the future, we can act as a warning system on patients with multiple organ failures or terminal illness, also as an indicator of treatment effect.

ICU patient Pulse pressure of the radical artery was obtained by arterial line. The output of the transducer was connected to an IBM PC for analysis via an A/D converter with sampling rate = 250 datapoints/sec. The pulse spectrum was analyzed with the Fourier transformation using T (period) = 1 pulse time. |
Diagnostic Test: ICU patient
Our study is to measure the coefficient of variation of the HCV of the radial arterial pulse among ICU patients with multiple organ failures (MOF). Patients admitted to Taoyuan General Hospital were recorded during the 6 months study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Coefficient of variation of harmonic magnitude [15 min]
We measure the blood pressure of participants with multiple organ failures (MOF) by pressure transducer during the 6 months study in the ICU of Taoyuan General Hospital. The radial artery pressure pulse of both hands are recorded with a pressure transducer fixed on the skin with tape and an adjustable belt with a small button to achieve suitable pressure.
