Taking NIBP Measurements
For optimum accuracy, the patient should keep the cuffed part of the
arm at the same level as the heart. NIBP measurement points above
the level of the heart give reduced pressure values. Measurement
points below the heart level give increased values. These errors are
due to the weight of the blood.
Figure 6-4: Arm Position for NIBP Measurement
An average measurement on a non-moving patient takes less than 40
seconds. At the end of each measurement, the cuff automatically
deflates. The monitor automatically attempts a second measurement
(with no displayed error message) if it cannot calculate a blood
pressure on the first inflation.
If a patient experiences a sudden dramatic drop in blood pressure,
the system may not measure the blood pressure on the first attempt.
The system automatically attempts another pressure measurement,
and detects the change on the second attempt.
Do not compress the cuff or the extension tube externally.
Compression of the cuff or the extension tube causes measurement
error. For optimum accuracy, the patient should remain still during
blood pressure measurement. Excessive patient motion may
adversely affect any oscillometric NIBP device.
