PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a limb compression device in which the limb compression operation that decreases the burden to a patient can be realized.SOLUTION: The limb compression device for controlling compression and release of a limb by controlling the air supply and air release in a cuff part wrapped around the limb of a patient, the cuff part being connected to the limb compression device, repeats a predetermined number of iterations of: an ischemia period during which the air supply to the cuff part is controlled, the limb is thereby compressed by a set ischemia pressure value, and the peripheral side from the compressed site is placed in an ischemic state over a pre-established ischemia period and a perfusion period during which the air release in the cuff part is controlled to release the compression on the limb, and blood is allowed to perfuse, over a pre-established perfusion period, into the peripheral side which had been placed in an ischemic state. The limb compression device has a detection unit for detecting the pulsation on the peripheral side from the compressed site caused by the cuff part, and applies pressure by the cuff part up to the ischemia pressure value on the basis of the systolic blood pressure of the patient as measured by the detection of the pulsation. During the ischemia period, the pulsation is detected while the cuff part is very slowly depressurized, whereby the systolic blood pressure is calculated and pressure by the cuff part is repeatedly applied up to the ischemia pressure value on the basis of the calculated systolic blood pressure.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】患者への負担を低減する肢部圧迫動作を実現可能な肢部圧迫装置を提供する。【解決手段】患者の肢部に巻かれるカフ部が接続され、カフ部の給気及び排気を制御することで肢部の圧迫と解放を制御する肢部圧迫装置は、カフ部への給気を制御することにより前記肢部を設定された虚血圧力値で圧迫し、予め定められた虚血時間にわたって圧迫部位よりも末梢側を虚血状態とする虚血期間と、カフ部の排気を制御して肢部の圧迫を解放し、予め定められた潅流時間にわたって虚血状態となった末梢側に血液を潅流させる潅流期間とを、所定回数繰り返す。肢部圧迫装置は、カフ部による圧迫部位よりも末梢側の拍動を検出する検出部を有し、拍動の検出によって測定された患者の収縮期血圧に基づく虚血圧力値までカフ部による加圧を行う。また、虚血期間においては、カフ部を微速減圧しながら拍動を検出す
