Abstract
A monitor for activating a sphygmomanometer attached to a patient includes a sensor attached to the patient to generate a sensor signal representative of a physiological parameter. This sensor can be, for example, a noninvasive sensor that generates a signal responsive to blood pressure. The monitor also has a processor coupled to the sensor and to the sphygmomanometer. The processor is configured to process the sensor signal and to send a signal to activate the sphygmomanometer when the sensor signal meets predetermined criteria.
