NIBP Monitoring
If the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia, measurements will be unreliable since reduced
blood flow to the peripheries will cause reduced pulsation of the arteries.
• Heart Rate Extremes
Measurements can not be made at a heart rate of less than 40 bpm and greater than 240 bpm.
• Fat Patient
The thick fat under extremity may reduce the measurement accuracy because it may prevent
the oscillation generated in the artery from reaching the cuff.
