NEULOG BLOOD PRESSURE LOGGER SENSOR GUIDE
Use of the blood pressure cuff:
To accurately record blood pressure rates, you must first properly
attach the blood pressure cuff to the subject being tested.
Note:
The cuff works through clothing, however, try to minimize
layers for the best readings possible.
1. Unwrap the blood pressure cuff and find the Velcro connection
pads.
2. Situate the blood pressure cuff with the Velcro pads facing
outwards.
3. Wrap the blood pressure cuff tightly, but without causing
discomfort, around the subject’s upper arm.
4. Ensure that the rubber tubing (connected directly to the blood
pressure cuff) is situated only a couple of centimeters above the
inner elbow.
5. Close the air pressure release valve by twisting the metallic
knob until it tightens.
6. Using the hand-
pump, fill the blood pressure cuff’s bladder until
it forms a snug but not uncomfortable fit (around 170 mm Hg
should be enough).
7. Run an experiment following the General Guide.
8. Loosen the pressure valve to allow a pressure decrease of
about 3 to 4 mm Hg per second.
Calculating heart rate, systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial
pressure (MAP):
Using the NeuLog software, the systolic, diastolic, and MAP blood
pressure values can easily be calculated:
1.
Conduct an experiment following the “Using the blood pressure
cuff” guide (use the "mm Hg + Arb" mode").
2.
After data collection, click the “Cursors” icon underneath the
graph.
3. Highlight the region of the data that has a steady decline with
visible heart beats by placing the cursors before and after this
region.
4. Click on the sensor module box on the left of the screen. .
5.
Click on the “Calculate” icon.
6. Markers for systolic, MAP, and diastolic values will appear.
7. Click on each one to see the relevant value.
