Chapter15 IBP Monitoring(optional)
15.1 Introduction
The Monitor measures direct blood pressure (SYS, DIA and MAP) of one selected blood vessel through two channels,
and displays two BP waveforms measures direct blood pressure (SYS, DIA and MAP).
The available pressure labels are:
Label Definition
ART Arterial Blood Pressure
PA Pulmonary Arterial Pressure
CVP Center Venous Pressure
RAP Right Atrial Pressure
LAP Left Atrial Pressure
ICP Intracranium Pressure
P1-P2 Expand Pressure
15.2 Precautions during IBP Monitoring
Warning

The operator should avoid contact with the conductive parts of the appurtenance when being connected or
applied.

When the monitor is used with HF surgical equipment, the transducer and the cables must be avoided
conductive connection to the HF equipment to protect against burns to the patient.

Disposable IBP transducer or domes should not be reused.

Verify transducer cables fault detection before beginning of monitoring phase. Unplug the transducer of
the channel 1 from the socket, the screen will display the error message “IBP: SENSOR 1 OFF” and the
audible alarm is activated. The other channel is the same.

If any kind of liquid, other than solution to be infused in pressure line or transducer, is splashed on the
equipment or its accessories, or may enter the transducer or the monitor, contact the Hospital Service
Center immediately.
Note

Use only the pressure transducer listed in the Chapter Accessories and Ordering Information.

The specified transducer is designed to have the special ability to protect against the electricity shock
(especially for the leak current allowed), and it is protected against the effects of a discharge of a cardiac
defibrillator. It can be used in the surgical operation. When the patient is in the defibrillation, the
waveform of the pressure maybe distorted temporarily. After the defibrillation, the monitoring will go on
normally, the operation mode and the user configuration are not affected.

Calibrate the instrument either whenever a new transducer is used, or as frequently as dictated by your
Hospital Procedures Policy.
15.3 Monitoring Procedure
Preparatory steps for IBP measurement:
1. Plug the pressure cable into corresponding socket and check that the monitor is switched on.
2. Prepare the pressure line and transducer by flushing through the system with normal saline solution. Ensure that
the system is free of air bubbles.
3. Connect the patient catheter to the pressure line, making sure that there is no air present in the catheter or pressure
line.
Warning

If there are air bubbles in the pressure line or the transducer, you should flush the system with the solution
