Star 55
Preparation for NIBP monitoring :
1. Place the patient in supine position and connect the BP cuff to the arm.
2. If the cuff is not placed at level of the heart then the pressure values obtained
will not reflect the true physiological pressure.
Precautions with automatically cycled BP cuffs :
1. Place the limb in such a way to minimize stretching and avoid weight exertion on
affected nerves.
2 Select a measurement interval that provides adequate venous drainage during cuff
deflation.
3. The limb on which the cuff is connected must be inspected periodically in order to
detect venostasis.
4. An accurate BP determination might be difficult if the patient has irregular cardiac
rhythm.
5. Cuff size selection is a very important criteria to get accurate blood pressure readings.
6. Avoid compression or restriction of the NIBP pressure tube.
Note
Cuffs become soft after use. They sometimes develop folds which are permanent
and hence leave temporary marks on the limb. Any cuffs that exhibit this effect
should be replaced.
If NIBP is used with SpO
2
, (PR) pulse rate is derived from SpO
2
sensor.
If NIBP, SpO
2
and ECG all three are connected to patient; then heart rate (HR) is
derived from ECG.
Do not measure NIBP continuously, as it might result in prolonged impairment of the
blood circulation of the patient.
NON INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE
Note
Accuracy of NIBP performance / results depends on patients pre clinical condition and
the technique used (oscillometric method of calculating NIBP).
