[Non-invasive blood pressure measuring device].

Algorithms have been developed for the Russian non-invasive blood pressure measuring monitor MPK-01 that applies a frequency excess pressure transducer. The monitor uses oscillometry. A preliminary estimate of the accuracy of blood pressure measurement for its conformity to the ANSI/AAMI (USA) and BHS (UK) standards has indicated the legitimacy of the algorithm proposed for processing if there are hardware restrictions inherent in this monitor.

[Development and experience in clinical use of computer monitoring systems in the cardiology intensive care unit].

To develop national monitor computer systems (MCS) for intensive cardiological care units, which should be reliable, easy-to-use, and cheaper than their foreign analogues is a pressing scientific and practical problem for Russian medical instrument making. The paper presents the results of development of and clinical experience with MCS at the intensive cardiological care unit of the Republican Clinical Cardiology Dispensary in the Republic of Udmurtia (Izhevsk).

[A neonatal computer monitor].

A neonatal computer monitor is described and its specifications are given. The monitor is designed to nurse terminal neonates. It exerts a control over the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in newborns with birth traumas.

[Device for rheographic studies].

The paper gives the specifications of a small rheograph used alone and as part of a computer monitor.

[Automated workplace of the physician-endoscopist as a base for computerization of endoscopic studies].

The paper deals with the complex presentation of data for endoscopic studies on personal computers for the benefit of a physician in drawing up medical documents, establishing an accurate diagnosis, preparing a treatment regimen, as well as in facilitating his work, storing and processing data, searching for reference information, drawing up the dynamics of morbidity and its prediction. A scheme for complex presentation of the information required for endoscopic studies is given.
