VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUR BLUTDRUCKMESSUNG

The invention concerns a method comprising a phase which consists in compressing the vessel whereof the pressure is to be measured by fluidic means associated with means measuring the fluid pressure, a slow decompression phase, and a measuring phase. The invention is characterised in that it further comprises: prior to the blood vessel compressing phase, a phase locating the vessel on the reading screen (28) of an appliance for observing the human body with reflected waves or through radiation; and during one of the vessel compression or decompression phases, a phase locating on the screen (28) a particular state of the vessel, said phase triggering, when the blood vessel is in said particular state, the phase measuring the pressure of the fluidic means (5, 6, 7, 43, 44). The measuring device comprises an image analyser (35) detecting on the screen an image close to a stored image corresponding to a state of the vessel and triggering a pressure measuring apparatus (40).
