6 Invasive Blood Pressure (optional)
6.1 Overview
Blood pressure (BP) is the force of circulating blood on the walls of the arteries. Blood
pressure is taken using two measurements: systolic (measured when the heart beats,
when blood pressure is at its highest) and diastolic (measured between heart beats,
when blood pressure is at its lowest).
A dynamic blood pressure value is normally written with the systolic blood pressure
first, followed by the diastolic blood pressure (for example 120/80).
AMPS-1 offers the option of two or four electrically isolated BP channels and simulates
static pressures, as well as dynamic BP waveforms that track arrhythmia and normal
sinus ECG simulations.
The unique isolation system of AMPS-1 was designed to provide true electrical isolation
of the BP as well as the cardiac output channels.
