Chapter 13 NIBP Monitoring
13.1 Introduction
The Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) module measures the blood pressure using the
oscillometric method.
It is applicable for adult, pediatric, and neonatal.
There are three measurement modes: MANUAL, AUTO, and CONTINUOUS. The
system displays systolic, mean and diastolic pressure for each mode.
In MANUAL mode, the system executes one NIBP measurement each time.
In AUTO mode, the system executes NIBP measurement repeatedly with the interval
of 1/2/3/4/5/10/15/30/60/90/120/180/240/480 minutes.
In CONTINUOUS mode, the system executes NIBP measurement continuously
within five minutes.
Warning A
Do not perform NIBP measurement on a patient of sickle-cell disease or with damaged
skin or expected damaged skin.
For a thrombasthemia patient, you must determine if to run AUTO NIBP measurement
according to the clinical evaluation because haematoma may occur at the friction
position between extremity and cuff.
You must select correct mode especially for pediatric and neonate patients (refer to the
PATIENT SETUP menu). Measurement under wrong mode may endanger patient
because high adult blood pressure is not suitable for pediatric and neonate.
