摘要：
Disclosed is a method to measure a patients blood pressure by a blood pressure measurement system utilizing a finger cuff, in which the finger cuff includes a light emitting diode (LED)—photodiode (PD) pair and a bladder. The method comprises: placing the finger cuff around the patients finger such that the bladder and the LED-PD pair aid in measuring the patients blood pressure by the blood pressure measurement system and applying heat generated by a heating element to the finger of the patient to increase the temperature of the finger, wherein the heating element generates heat at a predetermined temperature. Also, in some embodiments, the heating element also includes warming the hand and the wrist.
