Johns Hopkins Tests Wearable Blood Pressure Monitoring System

Send us a text and chime in!  Johns Hopkins University researchers have developed a wearable sensor system that can track blood pressure almost as accurately as the invasive arterial lines currently relied on in intensive care units and operating rooms, a potential step toward safer, less painful monitoring for critically ill patients. Intensive care patients often experience sharp swings in blood pressure that require constant monitoring, since spikes can lead to stroke, heart attack, or kidney damage, while drops can starve the brain and organs of blood. The current standard tool for that job is an arterial line, a catheter inserted directly into an artery that...   For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/johns-hopkins-tests-wearable-blood-pressure-monitoring-system/ Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network
