Invasive blood pressure (IBP)
To zero a specific transducer
Select the invasive blood pressure parameter
field to select the
IBP
page directly.
or
1
Select
Sensor parameters...
from the main
menu bar.
2
Select the
IBP
tab to access the
IBP
page.
3
Select the desired IBP tab (for example, ART)
along the right side of the
IBP
page.
4
Align the transducer to the level of the heart
(phlebostatic axis point, fifth intercostal space
and midaxillary line).
5
Close the transducer stopcock to the patient
and open it to air.
6
Select the button next to
Zero
in the
IBP
page.
If the zeroing of the transducer is successful,
the message
%0 zero accepted
appears. If
zeroing failed, the message
%0 did not zero
appears. In that case, repeat steps three to five.
Zeroing all pressure transducers
This procedure zeroes all pressure transducers
simultaneously.
Zeroing all pressures simultaneously from the
Hemo4 pod, the Hemo2 pod, and the MPod –
QuadHemo automatically zeroes all transducers
open to air simultaneously.
WARNING
Do not zero all pressures simultaneously
using the
key if any pressure waveform is
flat (nearly static).
WARNING
Certain invasive blood pressure alarms are
suppressed while pressures are being zeroed.
For detailed information, see page 118.
