connected to or indirectly connected to the arterial catheter at zero pressure. This can
lead to less pressure variations, thus interfere the zeroing process.
16.3 Monitoring Procedures
Preparatory steps for IBP measurement:
1. Plug the pressure cable into the IBP socket and switch on the monitor.
2. Prepare the flush solution.
3. Flush through the system, exhaust all air from the tube, ensure that the transducer and
stopcocks are free of air bubbles.
4. Connect the patient catheter to the pressure line, making sure that there is no air present in
the catheter or pressure line.
5. Position the transducer so that it is at the same level with the patient’s heart, approximately
mid-axillary line.
6. For the label name selection, please refer to
Selecting a Pressure for Monitoring
.
7. To zero the transducer, please refer to
Zeroing the Pressure Transducer
.
WARNING
If there are air bubbles in the tube system, you should flush the system with the solution
again. The bubbles may cause erroneous pressure readings.
16.3.1 Selecting a Pressure for Monitoring
Tell the monitor which pressure you want to monitor by selecting its pressure label. The label is a
unique identifier for each type of pressure. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that label’s
stored settings, for example color, wave scale and alarm settings. The label also determines which
algorithm is used to process the pressure signal, so an incorrect label can lead to incorrect
pressure values. To select the label, please refer to the following table:
Label Description
ART Arterial blood pressure
PA Pulmonary artery pressure
CVP Central venous pressure
ICP Intracranial pressure
LAP Left atrial pressure
RAP Right atrial pressure
P1-P2 Alternative non-specific pressure labels
