Abstract
An electronic sphygmomanometer measures blood pressure while deflating or inflating a cuff. Cuff pressurization is constant, irrespective of cuff size, up to about 10 mmHg. When this value is exceeded, supply of air to the cuff is controlled in accordance with the cuff size. The decision regarding the cuff size is made by reading in the size from a designating switch. The cuff pressure sampling period during inflation is made shorter than that during deflation.
