Chapter 5: NIBP Measurement
Root provides noninvasive blood pressure readings through an oscillometric method.
An oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement is a noninvasive method that
monitors the amplitude of cuff pressure changes during cuff deflation to determine arterial
blood pressure. The NIBP module is designed for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal
patients.
Patient Measurement Mode
Below is a table that provides a method for selecting the appropriate NIBP patient category.
