Non-invasive blood pressure
3. Stop the measurement by selecting NIBP Auto > Stop Cycling .
Starting or stopping the NIBP Auto from the monitor’s main menu
1. Select NIBP Auto Start .
2. Stop the measurement by selecting NIBP Auto Stop .
Starting or stopping the NIBP Auto with the PSM module key
1. Press the Auto On/Off key.
2. Stop the measurement by pressing the Auto On/Off key again.
STAT mode
NOTE
Not available in the NICU software package.
The STAT mode initiates a continuous cycle of measurements for five minutes. The
message STAT displays in the NIBP parameter window when STAT is started. A new
NIBP measurement starts after the previous measurement completes. The amount of
time between measurements varies. For PDM and PSM, it is at least four seconds for
adult and child and at least eight seconds for infant. For TRAM, the delay between
measurements is two seconds. The early systolic value is measured and displayed
until the final result is available. After five minutes, the monitor automatically returns
to the previously selected cycling interval or manual mode.
Starting or stopping a Stat NIBP measurement
You can set the NIBP measurement to continue for five consecutive minutes.
1. Select the NIBP parameter window.
2. Select Start Stat .
3. Stop the measurement by selecting Stop Stat .
Venous stasis
NOTE
PSM only.
The venous stasis mode initiates inflation and holds a constant pressure in the cuff
to help venous cannulation. The message
Stasis displays in the NIBP parameter
window when venous stasis mode is started. During the last 10 seconds, the Stasis
message begins to flash to indicate the monitor is about to return to the previously
selected cycling interval or manual mode. Stasis measurement pressure is controlled
by the PSM internally.
Venous stasis allows you to apply continuous NIBP cuff pressure for a short period of
time. The cuff inflation pressure and duration are dependent on the detected cuff or
selected inflation limits.
