Abstract:
1. A lymphatic pressure-measuring system comprising: a manchette fitted on a vital observation portion; a measurement device that measures and outputs pressure of the manchette; a camera that detects fluorescence emitted from fluorescent dye previously injected into a lymph vessel in the vital observation portion; and a monitor that generates and displays an image showing a position of the fluorescent dye in the lymph vessel based on a detection result of the camera, wherein the camera repeats the detection while reducing the pressure of the manchette so as to decrease from a first pressure to block a lymph flow in the vital observation portion to a second pressure at restart of the lymph flow, wherein the measurement device repeats the measurement while reducing the pressure of the manchette so as to decrease from the first pressure to the second pressure which is measured as a lymphatic pressure, at least a part of the manchette is formed of a transparent member so that the fluorescence can pass through, and the transparent member of the manchette comprises a scale in a direction of the lymph flow.
