Abstract

See full text

During a noninvasive blood pressure measurement using a cuff 2, a pulse wave propagation time T1 from the appearance of the peak value of an R wave in an electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform to the appearance of the bottom value of a pulse wave is counted, and a blood pressure value BP1 is calculated from a count result T1 and parameters .alpha., .beta. specific to a subject obtained during a pulse wave propagation time calibration. Then, the absolute value of a difference between the blood pressure value BP1 and a blood pressure value NIBP1 obtained by the noninvasive blood pressure measurement using the cuff 2 is calculated, and it is indeed whether or not the calculated absolute value is within a predetermined threshold.sub.-- BP. If the absolute value is judged to exceed the threshold.sub.-- BP, then blood pressure is measured again noninvasively using the cuff 2, and a blood pressure value NIBP1'obtained from such repeated measurement is displayed on a display 22.
