| Research Abstract |
For developing non-invasive standardized equipment for diagnosis of chronic obstructive vascular diseases, two cold provocation tests, finger skin temperature measurement and finger systolic blood pressure measurement were investigated. For finger skin temperature measurement, effects of water temperature and duration of cold immersion, and gloves on the test results were examined. And, for finger systolic blood pressure, effects of room temperature and subject posture on the test results were examined. With systemic review of relevant literatures and discussions with representative researchers, including foreign researchers invited to our university for public lectures (2002) and workshop (2004), norm of equipment together with the concrete tests methods and conditions were proposed as drafts for international standards (ISO/FDIS 14835-1 and 14835-2) in 2005.
